With so many web applications and websites moving to the cloud, it has caused a great amount of problems with regards to load capacity, application performance and overall reliability. Tuning and scaling systems and being ready for extreme traffic spikes is critical for any successful company doing business online and in the cloud.

Business leaders agree that the payoff for diligent performance load testing is huge. Every day the likes of major retailers, iconic technology brands and multi-national airlines experience websites failures. When these websites crash, their businesses are at least partially closed. As more and more businesses move to the cloud, it’s imperative that these businesses keep a close watch on quality and continually test, monitor and validate application performance to consider: What is the potential cost of poor performance of my cloud application? Is there a bottleneck that could hamper performance or worse, cause the site to crash? What is the load limit? Are applications fine-tuned for maximum success?

Apica LoadTest portal squarely addresses this and simplifies continuous load testing and also supports DevOps-based lifecycle testing, helping companies to best optimize their systems and succeed with new application release rollouts,” said Sven Hammar, CEO for Apica.
