Software testing tools and load testing information

According to the Seapine Software Quality-Ready Assessment (QRA) , few organisations have embraced automated testing. Forty-four percent of organisations have either not investigated automated testing or do not see enough of an ROI to implement it. The QRA results show that automated testing has not gained wide acceptance among software development and QA organisations.

• 37% of organisations have purchased an automation tool but have not put it into wide use.
• 60% of organisations must redeploy some resources to regression test critical bug fixes.
• 44% of development and QA organisations do not use automated testing.

For most software development organisations, test suites grow in lockstep with the code base. To continue to complete the required testing, organizations must either add more testers or find more efficient ways to test. Test automation provides a solution to that problem.

Shunra today announced the HP certification of Shunra VE Desktop for HP Software, a Windows-based solution that tests the impact of applications on networks in all developmental stages by emulating a wide area network (WAN) and detailing network conditions seamlessly during load testing. The interoperability with HP LoadRunner enables a powerful, integrated solution offering customers highly-accurate, network performance testing.

“Shunra VE Desktop for HP Software has transformed the traditional ‘develop on a LAN – deploy on a WAN’ methodology by providing actual depictions of real-world network impact in all phases of the application development lifecycle, prior to deployment,” said Thomas Charlton, CEO, Shunra. “End-user experience is a critical business driver for our customers, and Shunra significantly increases deployment success rates by analyzing WAN characteristics and impact on geographically remote end-users. Companies are now gravitating toward the requirement of network-aware applications at all developmental stages in order to avoid costly performance bottlenecks, time troubleshooting and rollout failures.”

“Application performance testing labs are looking to lower costs, while delivering load test results in a simple, repeatable manner,” said Subbu Iyer, Senior Director of Products, Performance Center and LoadRunner, Software, HP. “The combination of HP LoadRunner with Shunra VE Desktop for HP Software allows customers to achieve this and test network-aware applications with a WAN emulation capability.”
