March 17, 2004 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- AlertSite (alertsite.com), a provider of Web site, Web transaction and server monitoring services, has released a new Web load testing service, the company announced on Tuesday.
According to the company, the service is being delivered in conjunction with Mentora (mentora.com), an IT service company that specializes in performance testing. The service, delivered over a period pf ten business days, helps customers understand their application and user workload, define necessary testing scripts, run three distinct load simulations, and deliver a final assessment report that details the results and makes recommendations.
AlertSite said the service allows companies to determine how their Web applications perform and scale under the stress of user demand.
"In keeping with AlertSite's philosophy of helping our customers be successful, this is not a 'do-it-yourself' service," says Ken Gross, CEO of AlertSite. "There is a significant amount of expertise and methodology required to have confidence in the results produced from load testing. Mentora helps us deliver that expertise to our customers with a very customized offering designed to provide a consultative experience and affordable prices."
