Question by ram_nair200: Basic questions in testing web application?
I know this is a very basic question but still I don’t know. I developed a web application and its working fine. Till now I didn’t used any testing tools. I used to test my application manually. I really don’t know how the system will behave if more concurrent users are connected to the system and I also don’t know whether my application is meeting all the standards like performance, CPU utilization etc. These are the following concerns I have.
1) What are the testing tools I can use to test my application?
2) What are main parameters under which I have to test my application?
3) How I will come to know whether report generated by the tool is meeting all the standards. Is there any standard (values) where I can compare my testing report?
4) How to find out the minimum and maximum hardware configuration required for running my application?
Any help would be appreciated.

The best tool to test application are friends, just e-mail them a copy and let them tell you if it have bugs
For performance and all use Windows Task Manager (the one that appears when you click CRTL-ALT-DEL look for your application in Runing process and see the % of CPU its using and how much memory
For the minimum and maximum requierements again, this is when friends once again come in handy, because not all will have the same PC, some will have a different processor, some will have less memory, it youre on your own its just trial an error, USE YOUR FRIENDS!!! THEY HAVE USED YOU

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 10, 2006
Mentora Group, Inc., a leading application hosting and testing firm, announced today that Dan Downing will be presenting “Open Source Tools for Web Application Performance Testing” at Software Quality Engineering’s STARWEST 2006 conference, at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim CA on October 20.
“While commercial products such as Mercury LoadRunner are favored for their broad application support and functionality by large enterprises, many mid-market companies simply can’t justify the cost,” said Dan Downing, Vice President of Testing for Mentora Group. “Products like OpenSTA and JMeter offer excellent alternatives for Web applications. We’ve seen tremendous growth in demand for community-supported OpenSTA, which we use for our value services, and believe we should help broaden its exposure and teach people to use it effectively. The STARWEST conference is an ideal venue to accomplish this.”
“For the past five years, Dan has been a favorite speaker at the STAREAST and STARWEST testing conferences. His presentations have added significantly to the field of performance testing by defining processes for effective load and stress testing. In addition, he explains how to produce compelling presentations of test results. His techniques are applicable both to internally developed applications and third-party systems such as Oracle, SAP and PeopleSoft,” stated Lee Copeland, Senior Consultant at Software Quality Engineering.
Downing adds, “Customers value our business-oriented approach, our cost-effective remote load testing and our unique Performance Profile ReportTM that quantifies the business ability to achieve target workloads with acceptable performance.”
Mentora Group uses OpenSTA for its value eCommerce load testing services and Mercury LoadRunner for its premium performance testing services for .Net, java, WebSphere MQ, EDI and ERP applications. It also offers Web-based training on both LoadRunner and OpenSTA.
