Modern business applications consist of distributed services hosted on many machines. Those companies which rely completely on low level uptime monitoring put themselves at risk because running services are no guarantee that business transactions are working as intended.
At Dotcom-Monitor, we have the perfect solution for permanent testing of end-to-end user interactions. The EveryStep tool is an outstanding what-you-see-is-what-you-get solution. Simply install it on your box, insert the URL and click through your application under monitoring. While you navigate through your application, EveryStep captures all actions to a single script. Wizards allow you to add content checks during script recording to verify accuracy or insert timers to measure response times of important interactions. Finally, start a trial run and upload the newly created script to our Dotcom-Monitor platform and after a few clicks the new end-to-end application monitor or performance test is in place.
The nice thing about EveryStep is that you have the ability reuse the same script for load testing and then leveraged for application monitoring. We call this script mobility. Additionally, you can simulate more than 40 devices including mobile devices such as iPhone, Samsung, Nokia and browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
Forget the pain of complicated scripting. Even if highly dynamic web pages need to be tested, EveryStep provides the ideal solution. Use our image based recording and replay scripts to automate rich Internet applications. We call this RIA and our customers simply love it.
