COCONUT CREEK, Fla.—September 1, 2010—AlertSite® today announced the addition of Test On Demand to its product suite, offering users instant and detailed insight into how websites and applications are performing at any moment from AlertSite’s worldwide monitoring locations. With Test On Demand, users can play back any Web transaction that’s recorded from the desktop and watch it instantly, like a movie, while gaining access to AlertSite performance metrics along each step of the transaction. DéjàClick Test On Demand is a quick and easy way to check a Web transaction’s performance from a specific monitoring location and verify the functionality of an application from the perspective of its intended markets. DéjàClick with Test On Demand is available as a free download for any Firefox user at http://www.dejaclick.com.
“The 2010 World Cup tournament brought to light just how great an impact worldwide events can have on the performance and availability of the Web,” says Will Cappelli, Gartner Research VP. “In today’s competitive global economy, companies need to be sure their websites are consistently available and responsive to users across the globe.”
“If you’re not regularly testing the performance of your website outside your city, state or country, users in those locations could be having a negative Web experience, and you’d never know it," says Ken Gross, President and CEO of AlertSite. “DéjàClick Test On Demand gives users immediate insight into the responsiveness and availability of their websites, so they can be sure their websites, applications and transactions are running at peak performance in all their target markets.”
To obtain immediate and precise Web performance details, users simply use DéjàClick to record any multi-step transaction, click the Test On Demand icon, and select their desired location from the dropdown menu. In the time it takes your transaction to play back, Test On Demand delivers a comprehensive and detailed view of how the application is performing, including:
- Action details for each page of the transaction, including HTTP status; response times for DNS lookup, connect, redirect, time to first byte, HTML content and full page content; and waterfall charts.
- Event details that show the performance of every mouse-over, form fill-in, navigation and click, so users can make sure all the interactive and Flash components of their websites are performing as they should.
- Screen captures of errors that appear instantaneously to show users what went wrong and at what step of the transaction.
The first inside-the-browser transaction monitor, DéjàClick captures and records the Web experience from the actual end user’s perspective. Many tools can report if a site is up or down, but only AlertSite's DéjàClick monitors the true user experience, reporting the performance of pages, links, components, objects, cursor movements, and more—including sites completely built in Flash.
AlertSite customers can run their Test On Demand from any of the 60+ monitoring stations in AlertSite’s Global Monitoring Network. Members of the open DéjàClick community can perform instant tests from Chicago or London.
