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?
American
Testco uses
best-of-breed tools and
methodologies to provide network
testing solutions that address
all phases of application
development. American Testco's
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,
American Testco 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.
Why is network
testing essential to your organization?
Capital Cost
Reduction:
Network testing
will identify problems from development to
post-deployment, allowing you to achieve more
and spend less.
Operational
Efficiency Improvement:
American Testco
and the tools we use provide structured,
repeatable investigative functions that
accelerate problem resolution, thereby
alleviating pressure to expand your existing IT
staff.
Business
Productivity Increase:
Business
productivity is easily linked to application
response time. American Testco pinpoints
application bottlenecks to support smooth
application deployments.
Risk Reduction:
IT managers
implementing network testing are provided the
information required to minimize risks of
network problems and failures.
