Load Testing

    for Web Services

Web Services Monitoring

The increasing use of collaborative web applications, of componentization and of service orientated architectures along with the emergence of Web 2.0 development techniques and mashups have resulted in an explosion in the use of Web Services: both in their provision and their consumption.

The Web Services approach is a flexible and widely understood standard that enables the integration of business processes and collaboration, not only with external partners, service providers, suppliers and customers, but also as a mechanism to share data internally between divisions, departments and lines of business.

Webmetrics has built GlobalWatch Monitoring for Web Services, a new SaaS (Software as a Service) which validates the uptime, speed and delivery of discreet Web Services or complex Web Service transactions.

Load Testing of Web Services now available.
