SQLLoadTest is a unique testing aimed at understanding how your database server/cluster will perform under realistic and increasing load. This service addresses the real-world need to stress-test this key component of your application before key decisions about new software releases, roll-out to clients and system configuration can be made.

SQLLoadTest combines best-of breed testing functionality with a highly affordable pricing model. SQLLoadTest provides vital performance data for any SQL database irrespective of vendor, giving clients detailed information about how their database configuration will scale. This allows them to reduce the risk of business failure which can be at best embarrassing and at worst business threatening. SQLLoadTest minimises the risk of releasing an application that cannot cope with the demands made upon it.

SQLLoadTest delivers four major benefits:

• Cost-effective - Our combined consultancy and software service, utilising our enterprise-level performance testing tool - StressTester™, is far cheaper than competitive approaches and equally effective.
  
  
• Tailored - By recording real SQL traffic and then randomising that behaviour, we are able to gather crucial data about the application's ability to carry out its most critical tasks.
  
  
• Rapid - Within a week of being engaged we are able to produce a detailed report upon the application's ability to perform under different loads.
  
  
• Rigorous - By focussing on the application's real usage, we are able to determine where and at what load levels an application has performance or scalability problems.
