IBM® Rational® Performance Tester empowers software testing teams to conduct tests earlier and more often within a DevOps framework. It assesses the scalability of web and server applications, uncovers the causes of performance bottlenecks, and streamlines the load testing process. By enabling rapid execution of performance tests, it allows teams to evaluate how application load affects performance. This tool ensures that testing efforts are centered on scalability validation rather than on navigating a complex testing interface. It seamlessly integrates optimal access to essential protocol data and remote system metrics while allowing for the inclusion of custom Java code. By leveraging open standards and fostering shared user experiences, it facilitates collaboration among project team members. Additionally, IBM Rational Performance Tester on Cloud supports extensive and globally distributed performance testing. It generates real-time performance and throughput reports, providing immediate insights into potential performance issues at any stage of the testing process. Consequently, teams can proactively address problems and enhance application performance.
