• Vendor agnostic performance measurement including load, stress and performance testing
• Resolution of data extraction issues of heterogeneous databases
• Capacity Analysis
• e-Zest tests new systems in the development stage and provides practical corrective measures by using advanced testing services and tools at an earlier stage
• Highly trained personnel and specialized infrastructure
• Highly customizable performance tests which help customers verify
• Changes  can be done prior to implementation

An overview of the e-Zest Services:

Load Testing: This involves testing of the process or behavior of an application/system as it approaches the limits of its specification and also evaluates the capability of a system or application along the pre defined goals.

Stress Testing: The capability of the system or application is evaluated up to saturation or breaking point. Trying to break the system under stress either by adding resources or by taking away resources.

Volume Testing: Load testing is carried out with varying volumes of systems data to evaluate the impact on responsiveness and system utilization.

Soak Testing: This involves investigating the impact of load over long durations on responsiveness and systems performance. In other words, running systems at high levels of load for a prolonged time.

Scalability testing and Capacity planning: Different elements of a system are evaluated to determine its ability to handle changing and future needs

Performance Consulting: This is a need based staff augmentation of performance testing experts

System Characterization: Specific performance characteristics of systems and hardware under test are identified.

Ageing Test: An applications performance is assessed after prolonged usage over a period of time

Failover Test: Verifying redundancy mechanisms on an application while the system is under load

Throttle Test: The application is tested over various bandwidths and checked against various parameters.

e-Zest unleashes the following advantages for your company:

• Gaining an understanding of the performance of individual pages/URLs/ Actions taken in your application
• Leveraging e-Zest’s geographically distributed load testing infrastructure without incurring cost of building and maintaining this type of infrastructure independently
• Determining the capabilities of your application under load
• The e-Zest involvement right from the pre-deployment stage
• Opportunities identified for improvements in the existing applications and implemented
• Optimal remedial action recommended by experts
• Performance improvement at any stage of deployment through experts counseling
• The key areas of expertise are: Test process review, test strategy, test tool review, test planning, workload profile definition, test scripting, test execution, validation of test results and training delivery.

The benefits of the e-Zest experience, expertise and the efficacy of its performance testing services are measurable, stable and repeatable.
