Network Testing

Advanced Host Monitor is a system management tool that can monitor hundreds or thousands of servers or network devices using 60 different test methods, including ping, retrieve an URL, check the available disk space, check integrity of your files and web site, test your SQL server, and more. If a device does not respond, it can take a pre-defined action that includes sound warning, email notification, pager or mobile phone notification, execute external programs, remote shutdown/reboot and more. In addition program can also generate a log file that can be configured to suit your needs. Additional features include Log Analyzer to illustrate information for each tested host and collect statistical information, as well as a HML Manager, Web Service, Telnet Service, Remote Monitoring Agents (for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris) and other utilities. Advanced Host Monitor is also available as Lite($99), Standard ($175) or Professional ($350) edition.

WAPT is a load and stress testing tool for web sites and intranet applications. It provides ways for accurate load simulation, run-time test data generation and more. You can use the task editor to create task or use the built-in recorder to record the actions of a virtual user, which can then be replayed, edited and tested. WAPT can simulate multiple users for each scenario, custom implement delays between requests and dynamically generate test data parameters. The values of request parameters and URIs can be calculated in a number of ways and even be determined by the server response to the previous request. The results are displayed in easy to understand graphical chart displays and reports. Additional features include support for secure sites and user authorization, simultaneous testing, batch operation and more.

WebPartner Test and Performance Center Professional is a web stress, load testing and monitoring tool, that measures website performance from a customer`s perspective. It provides a browser-based web interface, that allows you to quickly find, fix and prevent performance bottlenecks and failures within your web applications. Features include Stress Testing, Web Service Testings and URL Monitoring.

Webserver Stress Tool is an easy to use, versatile load and stress test for web servers. Simulates any number of simultaneous users accessing a web server and helps to streamline your web application. The usage is very simple: 1. Select a URL on your server. 2. Run the server load test and WebStress records request times, number of errors. 3. Run the web browser test and WebStress measures the time a surfer needs to receive the complete webpage. Using the settings of WebStress, various load patterns can be simulated. Since WebStress works exactly like a web browser, any webpage can be tested, e.g. HTMs, ASPs, CGIs, PHPs, Applets, JSPs, EXEs etc. WebStress optionally handles proxies, passwords, user agents, cookies and ASP-session IDs.

TracePlus32 Web Detective is the a HTTP trace/analysis tool specifically designed for Web development. The program decodes the HTTP, DASL,Delta-V or WebDAV protocol and displays it in an easy to understand format. TracePlus/Web can unencrypt and display HTTPS traffic on encrypted SSL connections at any bit rate from 40 to 128 bits. The program uses Cyclone Plus debugging technology, which allows for tracing API calls in ActiveX controls and other OLE objects

Socket Workbench is the definitive tool for analyzing socket communications. Socket Workbench can be configured to run as a socket client or server, or you can run it in pass-through mode to intercept socket communications without packet sniffing. You can send and receive both text and binary data that you have typed in or read from a file. It can be used to "stress test" servers and clients. Socket Workbench is ideal for analyzing HTTP and SMTP as it includes a library of common protocols. Features of Socket Workbench include: the ability to send data at regular intervals; the ability to analyze data in either raw, binary, octal, decimal or hexadecimal format; logging of incoming and outgoing data using time stamps; logging of socket state transitions and events; filtering of incoming data; and more. (60 day evaluation)

SMTP Diagnostics is a simple utility that enables you to troubleshoot problems with your outgoing mail (SMTP). You can send a test message, optional with attachment and view the all protocol responses that are exchanged between your computer and the mail server. This information can help you analyze problems or can be passed on to technical support personnel. SMTP Diagnostics also includes a command-line option for automated or schedule testing.

TracePlus Web Detective (eBusiness Edition) is a performance analysis and diagnostic tool specifically designed for Web development. It lets you analyze HTTP and HTTPS protocols used by an application and provides performance and diagnostic information including connect times, DNS lookup time and much more. You can view complete object request and response headers. The program also supports communications via Java applets, Javascript, and VBScript, all with microsecond timing accuracy. Additional features include graphical comparison of server load and response times, object sizes and download times.

JBlitz Pro is a multi-threaded, multi-page website stress and load test tool. JBlitz Pro exercises critical pathways on your site using 100s of threads to simulate multiple concurrent users. features includes cookie support, performance monitoring, auto error detection, fine grained thread control, built in logging, error string searching, graphing and thread activity display. HTTP request headers are fully configurable, and you can view returned web pages along with their headers. The program is great for resilience testing dynamic sites with eg CGI, ASP, JSP, database access etc. JBlitz Pro also supports for XML over HTTP.

WSOP is a web page analysis tool, that provides a set of reports, statistics and suggestions to improve your website load time and performance. It checks your site for errors and broken links and interactively highlights the errors or problem, using a built-in HTML viewer. The statistical reports allow you to see your pages and resources, ordered by load time, host, type, average speed and other criteria.

Proxy Sniffer (Professional Edition) is a web load and stress testing tool that enables developers to analyze the performance characteristics and the stability of web applications under various load conditions. The program offers a browser based interface and allows you to record live browser sessions via proxy connection. It automatically generates optimized Java load test programs that be started on the localhost as well as on remote Windows or Unix systems. Each of the tests measures and collects detailed information from which up to 14 different statistics and diagrams can be generated. The results of several test-runs with different strains can be combined to a final performance and stability overview.

Test Mailer enables you to test and debug the communication between your computer and a mail server. The program includes a SMTP server for sending the test message and offers advanced options to configure the mail sending scenario (authentication, headers, attachments, HTML body etc.).
