Most automated testing methodologies
address the network infrastructure as a
passive architectural component rather
than a direct contributor to application
performance, infrastructure stability
and satisfaction of your business'
customers and employees. A thorough
testing methodology is necessary to
provide a complete end-to-end automated
testing solution in order to understand
the affect of the existing network
topology on your application, as well as
to understand the affect your
application will have on the existing
network.
Intent on improving your capability
to identify and solve problems, RTTS
uses best-of-breed tools and
methodologies to provide network testing
solutions that address all phases of
application development. RTTS' automated
testing processes and
application-centric view of the your
architecture allow you to:
• Graphically visualize all the components, such as servers, routers, etc.,
which participate in presenting data to
the end-user's application.
• Determine the network capacity requirements of your application in order to
assure that your network infrastructure
can not only support its current
requirements, but that it will also be
able to scale as your business grows.
• Analyze existing network traffic in order to identify computers that are
infected with viruses and/or are
exhibiting anomalous behavior, such as
large data transfers or denial of
service (DOS) attacks.
• Provide insight into how an application will perform in various network
environments, such as WANs, and across
geographically distributed end-users.
Bandwidth and network latency can be
analyzed in order to identify the
affects on end-user response time, as
well as to identify the minimal
acceptable configurations to support
your application Service Level
Agreements (SLA).
• Characterize transaction attributes, such as the amount of frames transferred
or the number of client initiated
requests, and pinpoint the source of
poor end-user response time by
identifying the amount of time spent
processing on your client, one or more
servers and the network.
• Leverage data gathered by network management tools to diagnose ongoing or
historical performance and stability
problems.
With these tools and proven best
practices, RTTS can quickly visualize
transaction dynamics and diagnose
performance problems, resulting in a
clear definition of what is happening
over a network at each stage of an
application's operation. This
information is vital to all parties
involved - developers, application and
network managers.
