How can IT determine an application’s performance attributes and avoid potential inconsistencies before the app is deployed and the damage is done? One way to test or validate an application’s performance before production is to run performance tests with an automated tool. We recently evaluated five of the leading automated performance testing tools. This research note covers IBM Rational Performance Tester.
This evaluation discusses:
- Current trends in the automated performance testing market.
- Vendor position of IBM.
- Key features of Rational Performance Tester.
- Licensing, support, and pricing details.
- Strengths and weaknesses of Rational Performance Tester.
Evaluate the tool’s quality of service landscape in terms of vendor and product viability, pricing, and licensing, to determine if IBM Rational Performance Tester will meet the organization’s quality assurance needs.
