Forecast™ the next generation Load Testing Tool

Forecast™ balances scalability (high Virtual User concurrency and transaction throughput) with sophisticated user emulation, test data management and monitoring of the system under test. Forecast™ has a relatively small footprint so that fewer hardware resources are required for testing.

Forecast™ achieves realistic load during tests by closely replicating the activity of users. It has been designed from the outset to be flexible and extensible. This open design means that Forecast™ can tackle complex applications that defeat other tools. Forecast™ reduces the cost of test creation and maintenance with intelligent script generation, automated handling of dynamic application data and easy customisation.

Performance Testing

Realistic load is only one of the requirements for successful performance testing. It is also necessary to extract comprehensive information about the performance and reliability of the system under test and the network and IT infrastructure. Forecast™ measures response times, validates server responses and gathers comprehensive system metrics. This information is brought together in charts and tables displayed in a configurable run-time dashboard. Forecast™ includes a powerful statistical analysis tool for creating user configurable reports. Data can be easily exchanged with other tools.

Stress Testing

Apparently reliable software can become unstable when placed under load. Forecast™ can simulate thousands of users by deploying multiple load injection machines managed from a central controller. Forecast™ test scripts are fully compiled and the runtime overhead is low given the high degree of functionality that is provided.
