Prepare Your Site for Traffic Spikes with BrowserMob
Transcript From Episode CMSW2009-09-21

CMS Wire says it best: If It Crashes, They Can’t Come.

If your website is your company, then having it go down for any period of time can cripple you. Huge interest in your site can see the server(s) unable to cope with demand. A new company, Browsermob, does exactly that.

Others simulate HTTP traffic; we emulate user behavior, making AJAX load testing trivial# Simulate 2,000 VUs for only $150. See exactly how your users experience your site when stressed. Create a set of tests in BrowserMob’s Selenium IDE and get a MySQL report full of statistics such as response time, throughput and error rates. It even returns screenshots of errors. Control 2K+ real browsers; 25K+ virtual users.

Then there is the ongoing monitoring. It checks your site with real browsers in the cloud. It alerts you when your site experiences problems. It’s built for complex websites (ie: AJAX, Flash, etc) and is affordable: get started for as little as $1 per day. Try the free test at browsermob.com. Or jump right in and purchase a package starting at $150.
