Craft your tests well, use good test lists, and finally spread out the processing. Test Studio's new remote execution engine makes distribution and scheduling of your tests easier than ever.

    Load Testing Web Services With Test Studio

    Many web sites make use of Web services, either in-house services or those from a third party.  Web services perform tasks common across many applications, such as stock market tickers, weather reports, and news feeds. If the Web service is in-house, testers have to determine if it meets the required performance and load characteristics.  If the service is provided by a third party, you want to make sure that it is meeting your Service Level Agreement regarding the number of simultaneous users and response times.  Test Studio will have the ability to help you determine this.

    Agile and Testing: It Only Makes Sense

    30 Days of TDD – Day 22 – When is a Test Not a Unit Test?

    The focus of this series has been Test Driven Development. TDD relies on unit tests, and so the focus of this series has been on unit testing.

But the truth is that unit testing is not the only kind of testing that you should be thinking about.
