System Requirements

Many test teams face the challenges of accelerated development cycles that result in shorter test windows. Silk Performer can considerably speed up testing cycles by allowing reuse of existing functional tests (Silk Test® or Selenium tests) for performance testing and synthetic monitoring purposes.

Take advantage of advanced test management and issue tracking capabilities through integration with Silk Central®. Comprehensive reporting, including performance trend dashboards, provides visibility of test results and enables rapid response times to performance issues as they arise.

Silk Performer synthetic transaction monitoring as a part of BMC APM measures the performance of business applications through execution of business transactions and the monitoring of response times. Experience your site like a customer and address issues before they cost your company.

Directly import unit test scripts for testing server-side Java and .NET components under concurrent access, to simulate realistic server conditions. Identify issues and fix them before go-live to ensure that your customers benefit from a smooth experience.

Silk Performer CloudBurst uses Amazon and Microsoft Azure Cloud Services to quickly simulate any size peak-loads from multiple geographies without you having to invest in load testing hardware and setup.

Identify slow transactions with Silk Performer and get a detailed performance break-down across tiers in AppDynamics to easily detect the root cause of performance bottlenecks.

Develop performance tests in Microsoft Visual Studio and record web scripts. The extension provides a comprehensive C# binding for all kernel, web, and browser API functions. Thus, it combines the rich development feature set of Visual Studio, including all debugging features, with the powerful load testing capabilities of Silk Performer, including capture file recording and TrueLog analysis.

Eclipse enables developers to write and run Silk Performer test scripts written in Java entirely within their native programming environment. Directly import unit test scripts for testing server-side Java components under concurrent access, to simulate realistic server conditions.

Fully integrated, click-through drill-down delivers a multi-tier performance breakdown. This enables you to identify the root cause of performance bottlenecks down to the line of code for both Java and .NET applications.
