Most Performance Engineers use a single high-performance server in a nearby data center to Load Test their websites, and measure their response times under load. They optimize the code on their servers until they achieve the desired performance, finally declaring that the website will run fast under the expected load.
And then, on Black Friday, millions of users on mobile devices all over the country, or all over the world, start shopping on the website. But they don't live in a nearby data center. They live in residential homes, with residential internet service and weak WiFi connections. And most of them are using their cellphone to shop and place their orders.
And now we see the problem. The real users on Black Friday experience longer response times than the Performance Engineer measured during the Load Test. The Performance Engineer is not accurately measuring the real End-User response times. He is measuring something else: the response time to the nearby high-performance server in the data center. To do the job right, he should really use Load Generators running on Mobile Devices located in the same representative places as the real users.
That is exactly what Neocortix PerformanceTest does. We give you a powerful new way to accurately measure the real End-User response times under load. Now you can Put Your Load Generators Where Your Users Are, so you can really measure what they are experiencing.
