Continuity Disaster Recovery Software Will get Non-public Cloud Advisor

Posted by performance tester on August 25th, 2010 No Comments

From eWeek- Storage:

Disaster recovery provider Continuity Software Aug. sixteen upgraded its RecoverGuard product to incorporate a Personal Cloud Advisor.

RecoverGuard Model 5.2’s Private Cloud Advisor supplies full availability and recoverability in the personal cloud, or pool of shared data storage.

Non-public cloud computing is a method some companies make use of to make use of secure, in-house IT services via virtualized software program, similar to VMware’s ESX servers. Non-public clouds have pros and cons.

While largely efficient for consolidating servers—and hence costs—personal clouds could be a bear to manage because the abstraction layers generated by digital machines (VMs) trigger single points of failure, resulting in compromises in service availability.

Moreover, attaining high availability in a private cloud is commonly troublesome because it means visualizing, mapping and managing all of the shifting components.

The plot thickens as virtual machines aren’t “storage aware,” which means every VM does not know the infrastructure it sits on.

Cloud Based Testing

From CNet:

Among the most extremely trafficked interactive techniques in the present day are accessed via the Net: Amazon.com, Facebook, Google, Zynga simply to call a few. These apps need to work flawlessly throughout any browser or danger dropping eyeballs and audience consistency.

The browser wars in spite of everything, are still alive and properly, and any critical Web utility must work on the most popular browsers , comparable to Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome but do not forget others like Safari and Opera.

However for many companies, it is troublesome and costly to take care of and update a check infrastructure on premise that retains up with the top browsers and all their releases, major and maintenance. Like growth and deployment before it, the time has come for cross-browser testing to maneuver to the cloud.

Earlier this year, start-up Sauce Labs launched Sauce OnDemand, a cloud service that allows users to execute their Selenium scripts in parallel across 10 of immediately’s hottest browsers. In accordance with Jason Huggins, the creator of Selenium and co-founding father of Sauce Labs, browser testing is a see-it-to-consider-it type of thing. Builders are used to seeing exams working locally however usually lose that visibility when testing moves to the cloud.

Sauce Labs on Thursday is anticipated to introduce Sauce TV

Microsoft releases Spec Explorer 2010 application test tool

Posted by performance tester on November 20th, 2009 No Comments

From Yahoo:

Microsoft have been looking at the question of quality assurance and this week is presenting a tool uses techniques used in capacity planning and performance modelling.The Spec Explorer 2010 tool, funnily enough known as Spec Explorer, can be obtained from the Microsoft DevLabs website.

High quality testing of systems and applications is one of the prime challenges in the application development process. The Spec Explorer tool issued recently on DevLabs tackles that problem using model-based testing techniques.

Spec Explorer models the behaviour of application code and using the output to produce functional testing steps from those models. These models can be seen graphically to understand application behavior. These test suites can run standalone or in the Visual Studio or other unit test frameworks. A modelling background is not required before users can build models with Spec Explorer.

Models are written in C# and accompanied by configuration files in a scripting language called Cord.

Cloud-bursting – getting first-rate performance form the cloud

Posted by performance tester on November 17th, 2009 No Comments

From Computer World:

Cloud computing normally describes implementation of dynamically and often virtualised resources as a service across the Internet . Cloudbursting is one of the terms connected with cloud computing at the moment.
Using cloud computing models for any application and associated traffic could be costly, and using it for handling the spikes in a company’s usage patterns might also be laden with issues because of the time required to get the system set-up and seeded with the data. Ramping up in the cloud is difficult since it might take minutes to fire up more hosts but a company’s peak requirement may perhaps last less time than that.
