It is critical for any application team to know how their application or website will respond to global or remote customers before officially deploying the application. Unfortunately, most application teams still see less then expected performance results after deployment due to high latency from remote regions, timeout and connectivity issues experienced by a handful of remote users as well as application errors generated only from certain users.

Once the application is deployed, the time and effort required to identify and resolve these rogue issues can be more then what the application team is willing to commit to. Many times the resolution to these problems is short term band-aid fixes such as deploying terminal services for certain users. In the end, customers are usually unhappy with the less then ideal work-around and ultimately end up minimally using the application in order to avoid the pain of waiting for the application to respond.

To avoid problems like this, many application teams implement some sort of scalability testing of the application prior to deployment. Unfortunately, it is likely that user response errors will still appear. This is due to the fact that scalability testing is primarily a server-side test and does not profile the client experience in enough detail to identify application errors or potential problems that particular remote users may incur.

LeadByte NetworkSmart is an excellent solution for pre-deployment testing of your enterprise application or mission critical website. It allows you to quickly identify any errors generated across the application as well as correctly identify the actual response time of all of your users before the application is deployed.

The easy-to-use interface of LeadByte NetworkSmart allows quality assurance teams to quickly come up to speed once they begin testing with application EKG. Detailed application data and performance metrics allow the quality assurance team to provide the development team with concise information that will result in a quicker time to resolution. In addition, LeadByte application EKG creates a stronger understanding of the how the tested application will respond; allowing the application team to make better SLA commitments to the end user or business owner of the application.

LeadByte application EKG gives you the understanding of how your application will perform and you can now say with confidence that your application will respond as desired; once it is deployed.
