Eliminating the Real-world Constraints on Application Performance Testing
with Virtual Services Environments

by John Michelsen, iTKO Chief Scientist & Founder

How can we leverage leading Load & Performance testing tools such as HP (Mercury) LoadRunner, and Borland SilkPerformer in our test lab, by leveraging Virtualization to give IT a ready test bed at the speed of change in today's business? LISA Virtual Service Environment allows development, testing and performance teams to achieve better service levels, while saving as much as 90% of the cost of replicating each application environment.

Today's interconnected systems such as fully integrated packaged applications, ESB-based enterprise platforms, and SOA make ensuring high-performance from application components and solutions increasingly difficult. On top of that complexity, we are increasingly supporting technologies that are built and managed by distributed teams, both across organizational and geographic boundaries.

This foundational paper will show you how to leverage LISA VSE in your existing Performance Testing lab, by demonstrating examples from leading enterprise IT shops who are delivering high-performance, critical applications.
