enterprise-class load-testing tool. With the ability to simulate
thousands of users working with multiple protocols and computing
environments, SilkPerformer allows users to predict the behavior of
an enterprise's application environment before it is deployed,
regardless of size and complexity. Visual customization, visual
content verification under load, real-time performance monitors and
powerful management reports help isolate problems quickly --
accelerating time to market and ensuring system reliability by
minimizing test cycles, optimizing performance and assuring
scalability. SilkVision is a Web-based monitoring solution that
allows enterprises to manage the performance and reliability of
their mission-critical business applications from the end-user
perspective. With its ability to define complex business
transactions and correlate those results with information obtained
from anytier of the application infrastructure, SilkVision provides
a thorough picture of the system being monitored. Based on a tight
integration with Segue's core technologies, SilkVision is able to
reuse complex test cases developed during pre-deployment testing as
monitors without applying any changes to them. In a similar
fashion, a monitor representing a faulty user transaction scenario
can be fed back into development and expanded into a test scenario.
This improves cooperation between the pre-deployment testing and
post-deployment operations teams that contribute to ensuring the
on-going reliability and quality-of-service of enterprise business
applications. About Segue Software Segue (Nasdaq-SCM: SEGU) is the
