Monitis announces performance testing as a service

Performance testing made easy, affordable for QA, Developers and Webmasters!

Press Release

San Jose,April 28, 2009 – Monitis Inc., a leading provider of affordable, easy-to-use performance monitoring and management software announces website performance testing service. With new Monitis Web Load Tester companies can not only instantly run their site performance tests but keep historical records and manage performance scripts.

Website availability can significantly affect companies revenue and its online reputation. An article in Digg or another social media has potential to boost significant traffic but can kill the site if not performance tested. Companies may lose their page ranking and sales instead of benefiting from the increased traffic. Load tests on every release of new features and running the tests on pre-production environment is needed to understand website’s resilience. Having said, it is unwarranted for most companies to keep redundant servers just for load testing.

Monitis Web Load Tester (www.webloadtester.com) is the solution to prior mentioned challenges. QA, web developers, webmasters and even advanced business users can create load tests and run them within minutes leveraging a scalable testing platform. Besides affordable pricing, the easy to use interface does not require any learning. Users can leverage Web Load Tester’s analytics interface to continue to benchmark modifications with historical results. Beta version of Web Load Tester is well received by 100+ customers. Prior version of Web Load Tester required users pay per each new test and sends test results via email. Current enhanced version offers users the ability to login to their account, prepay for multiple tests via paypal or credit card, manage reports and provide access to multiple users.

“Our mission is to continually provide affordable enterprise-class tools to IT specialists for systems performance management” said Hovhannes Avoyan, CEO of Monitis.  “Monitis now provides not only performance monitoring solutions but also proactive performance testing”. Monitis planned series of new product announcements in the near future.
