Web application load & stress testing
Organisations are increasingly dependent upon web applications. Failures caused by performance issues when the software systems are scaling up or stressed by high loads of transactions, or users, are particularly unwelcome. Yet these scenarios are often not tested because of the difficulty and cost of performance testing.Acutest have created the Load Cannon Testing Service to help organisations reduce their risks of performance related failure for web applications.
Load Cannon Testing Service
The Load Cannon Testing Service is a performance testing service for websites and web-enabled applications. Hosted in the UK, it combines advanced performance testing tools and techniques, load generators and monitors, structured testing methods and experienced performance testing specialists.Our load test service will create a series of tests designed to:
- Quickly assess the scalability of an application and underlying infrastructure through the use of high load volumes and concurrency tests.
- Identify the application’s ability to scale to various levels of load and the cause of any performance issues.
Contain your risks today
If you are looking to manage your web application performance risks, then contact us to find out how our load testing services can help.In these difficult economic times, it's tempting to cut performance testing. So we've set the pricing to match the times. There are no additional testing tool license costs or restrictions on rental periods. There are no additional costs for simulating high volumes of users or transactions in a test scenario. And you only pay for what you use.
A risk assessment is carried out at the start of the assignment and the testing is prioritised by risk. This allows you to match up budget with the level of risk you want to mitigate. It means that you can choose the level of performance testing you want, ranging from a simple benchmark load test to comprehensive set of performance tests for a complex web-enabled system to fit your .

What we deliver
- We will develop test scenarios for each key process or transaction type.
- Once proven, we will combine the test scenarios to simulate a realistic load. This will provide an understanding of how the system behaves at different levels of activity (Load Testing).
- We can test the system beyond normal levels of usage or transaction volumes to see how it behaves (Stress Testing).
- Additionally, we can test over extended periods of time, to provide confidence that the application behaviour will not deteriorate (Soak Testing).
- We will identify bottlenecks and actions required to optimise your web sites as we perform the testing.
- We will deliver a comprehensive and detailed report of findings, risks, and conclusions.
