WAPT
WAPT is a load and stress testing tool that provides you with an easy to use, consistent and
cost-effective way of testing web sites and intranet applications with web interface.
You may test and analyze the performance characteristics under various load conditions
to find bottlenecks of your web applications. WAPT has a set of features to test web sites
with dynamic content and secure HTTPS pages. It provides informative test results
through descriptive graphs and reports.
Today thousands of businesses worldwide face the challenge of establishing their web presence -
a goal difficult to achieve without efficient web site development and testing tools.
Why is load and stress testing is so important? Most performance issues arise only when the server
is stressed with a high user load. This means that you should perform load testing to know
how many concurrent visitors your site can serve flawlessly. It can be difficult to organize
such testing without the help of a group of real users. The right way is to use advanced automatic
load and stress testing tools. WAPT can simulate up to several thousands real users to check
the performance of your site and find any bottlenecks.

Features :
- Accurate simulation of real user activity
WAPT uses a number of advanced techniques to simulate real live load conditions.
This approach is much more efficient than producing high load by sending many identical requests
to the server. WAPT creates a simulation of many different users coming from different IP addresses,
each with their own parameters: cookies, input data for various page forms, name and password,
connection speed and their own specific path through the site. WAPT can even simulate random time
between user clicks to make each virtual user as similar as possible to a human user.
- Different types of users in one test
If you want to simulate thousands of users, you do not need to specify separate behavior for each of them.
Practice shows that usually site visitors can be divided into certain types, and this approach is used in WAPT.
You specify behavior for each type of users and add to the test as many users types as you need.
- Testing of dynamic web applications
HTTP requests can include parameters that are specific for each user. The values of such parameters
can even be different for different users of the same type and can change throughout the session.
For example, the server can send a session variable in the reply to the first request from a new user.
This variable is added to the subsequent requests from that user to identify them.
You can specify how to use these changing parameters.
- Flexible load level definition
You can either choose constant load level for the whole test time or increase the load after specified
time intervals during the test. You can specify the overall test time and the number of virtual users
for each profile. Overall load also significantly depends on the type of users, so you can change
it by introducing new types of users, making them "slow" or "fast".
- Testing of HTTPS/SSL content
WAPT supports testing of web sites and applications secured by SSL.
You do not need to perform any additional actions and can easily work with HTTPS sites
just as you do with any others.
- Descriptive test reports and graphs
WAPT displays test results through descriptive reports and graphs. They are available even during the test,
so you can monitor key parameters of web application performance on the fly and see how your site
responds to the increasing load volume. Summary reports and graphs are useful to determine the presence
of any problems in overall performance. Then you can check through more detailed reports down to
the level of separate user profiles and pages to find specific bottlenecks.
All reports are created in HTML format, so you can easily share them with your colleagues.
You can also save test results in MS Excel compatible format. During the test WAPT collects complete
test data including server replies to each request. You can use this information to research site
behavior in all details.
- Other Features
Support of different language encodings,
Support of all types of proxy servers: HTTP(S), SOCKS4(5),
Additional command-line interface,
Scheduled run option to commence testing at a specified time,
