Multiple Technology / Protocol Support
Facilita’s Forecast supports complex test scenarios using multiple protocols and is designed to effectively test web servers, databases, distributed Java and .Net applications and various other client/server systems.

Highly scalable
The distributed architecture has been designed to address today’s highly demanding requirements and is capable of supporting test simulations for tens of thousands of Virtual Users.

Small and efficient footprint
Forecast’s small footprint enables industry-leading numbers of Virtual Users on given hardware configurations without loss of functionality. This ensures larger tests can be carried out without the need to deploy additional IT infrastructure.

Open testing framework
Forecast has been designed to allow the easy integration of third-party API’s, libraries, jar files, class libraries etc. Its open design means that support for new technology can be easily added; preserving your investment in the tool. Standard languages are used for test script: including C/C++, Java, Python, and any .NET CLR language such as C# and VB.Net.

Extensible
Forecast’s open framework can be extended by partners and users to meet complex testing requirements. For instance, add application specific rules to existing script generators to remove the need for manual edits. Create new Virtual User types, script recorders and generators and even new data sources.
