Borland Software Technology Brief Sample

REALISTIC, LIGHTWEIGHT & ACCURATE SIMULATION
The innovative SilkPerformer technology minimizes the hardware resources needed per virtual user, enabling more and larger load tests using significantly less hardware than other popular solutions, reducing this often hidden cost. With remotely managed load agent machines, the performance of various configurations, user scenarios and network connections can be measured and contrasted. And, within a single load test, virtual users working with different Internet, middleware and database protocols -- across varied computing environments -- can be simulated. For internationalized applications that utilize Unicode, SilkPerformer supports multibyte character sets and UTF-8. Client IP address simulation allows for the testing of load-balanced sites.

PROBLEM ISOLATION AND CORRECTION
Powerful end-to-end diagnostics capabilities help identify the root cause of performance problems, then take corrective action and report on activities.
