Tenzing Launches Turnkey Cloud-based, Multi-Endpoint Load Testing Service
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) March 11, 2014 -- Tenzing Managed IT Services (Tenzing), a leading provider of hosting solutions for mid-sized retailers, today announced the launch of a new offering to help clients plan and prepare for peak site traffic. Tenzing Site Tester is a multi-endpoint, cloud-based testing service that simulates peak load from a range of geographies, devices and networks and pinpoints code-based performance bottlenecks before they impact visitors. Site Tester is the latest addition to Tenzing’s advanced managed services suite, which includes components for site optimization, application performance monitoring and DoS mitigation.
“Research has consistently shown that online shoppers are typically only willing to wait 3 seconds for pages to load before abandoning the shopping experience,” said Dave Geada, Director of Marketing at Tenzing. “The irony is that many online stores meet this performance benchmark during normal operations, but not when it matters most. It’s during peak periods of shopping driven by seasonality, campaign activity or unexpected viral word of mouth on social networks that their sites degrade, leaving untold new shoppers with a poor impression of their brand. Traditional forms of load testing can be prohibitively expensive and unrealistically represent production load. Tenzing Site Tester addresses these shortcomings by delivering a turnkey, global, cloud-based service that can scale up to mimic even the most demanding traffic patterns on an affordable pay-per-use basis.”
Tenzing Site Tester is powered by SOASTA, a Gartner Magic Quadrant leader in load testing technology. Tenzing works with retailers to identify peak load scenarios, and then plans and executes load testing scripts leveraging the SOASTA platform. Tenzing then performs detailed analytics to identify the root causes of performance bottlenecks and works with retailers to eliminate these bottlenecks in advance of peak shopping seasons. Site Tester is a key component of Tenzing’s Retail Readiness Assessment program, a rigorous ITIL-based methodology designed to prepare retailers for peak shopping seasons.
“Successful retailers know that preparing for peak shopping seasons is a lengthy process, sometimes requiring months of preparation and planning,” said Raj Atwal, Vice President and General Manager of Ecommerce. “It’s also a key component of their success, as peak shopping seasons normally drive revenues and profitability for the year. We are thrilled to be partnering with SOASTA to deliver a turnkey and cost-effective load testing service that delivers real-world insights and helps ensure that our retailers deliver engaging and effective customer experiences when it matters most.”
