At the push of a button it generates load from outside the network to test the entire application stack, including the firewall, or generates load from inside a test lab to concentrate on server performance by itself. A choice of worldwide Amazon cloud locations ensures realistic load testing, and the Bandwidth Wizard measures real web bandwidth capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Detailed, configurable reports are available in HTML format, and WPLT4\u2019s Application State Management\u2122 feature analyzes test cases and configures dynamic variables for most websites automatically. The automated record and configuration process means no complicated hand-coding, and no scripting languages to learn, and the Executive Summary makes it easy to share the results.<\/p>\n<p>WPLT4 automatically detects and configures the test cases for most situations. The software works with most technologies, on most platforms, including AJAX, Apache and httpd, PHP, Java and J2EE, IIS, ASP and .NET, and Virtualization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Durham, NC (PRWEB) June 14, 2010 &#8212; Web Performance announces major improvements with the new release of <a href=\"\/load-testing-tools\/pro-features.html\">Load Tester 4.1<\/a>.
