Synthetic Monitoring
VELOCITY 2011, Santa Clara, Calif. – June 14, 2011 – Apica, a leading European load testing and performance-monitoring provider for cloud and mobile applications, today announced a new opportunity for prospects worldwide to evaluate the recently launched Apica Watch service via a new 30 day free trial offer.
Apica Watch is a cloud service with full support for Selenium that gives subscribers the ability to monitor their websites from a true-end user perspective and get immediate results. Apica’s technology is being demonstrated at booth #314 at Velocity 2011.
Selenium is the popular open source software testing framework for web applications that lets customers generate, create and run scripts representing complex user scenarios, such as logging in, searching, making travel reservations and completing purchases online. Users can create test scripts using Selenium, and upload and seamlessly reuse them in Apica Watch to monitor applications globally. Uniquely, the Apica Watch service visually “documents” the executed script, taking screen shots along the way, leaving web operations staff with a full graphical account of how the application performed.
This announcement comes on the heels of Apica’s U.S. market debut on June 1, when Apica Watch was launched. The free trial can be accessed at:
