Assuring Web Site Quality, Reliability and Performance
eValid Home

Web users demand a lot! If your web site is too slow, has errors, is missing content, or fails to work correctly, your online customers may click away in an instant -- with likely unhappy results for your revenue stream.

While you can't affect very much how fast the Web itself works, you can control what your web site does and how well it does it. And at least you need to be aware of small problems so they don't become big problems!

eValid Test Services enable companies and web site managers to monitor and optimize E-commerce service validity, availability, internal quality, and performance -- as perceived by typical users with realistic test scripts. This is the Quality of Service (QoS) that really counts! You get test results that reflect what your customers see with simple and easy-to-understand reports.

eValid Test Services are based on use of eValid combined with custom-developed test scripts and custom-developed support utilities.

Key eValid Capabilities

With pre-programmed eValid Test Services you can test your web site exactly the way a user uses your web site. You can make sure your web site meets quality criteria you set:

Overall you gain confidence that your web site is working the way you want it to. And, you get email and/or pager warnings immediately when a problem is found.

How eValid Works

The foundation of all eValid Test Services is application of custom programmed tests on a regular schedule with automated responses to the web site manager. These series of tests are designed to confirm critical properties of the web sites they exercise, including:

In short, all the things that your own testers would do if they knew how and had the tools to do the work.

eValid Features and Benefits

Customized outsourced automated testing. You get the advantage of the best, most efficient scripting, with all of the test suite development and execution done for you on a service-level basis at very attractive pricing.

Powerful test tools "at your service". eValid Test Services are based on use of versions of the eValid Test Engine combined with custom-developed test scripts and custom-developed support utilities.

Realistic simulated-user tests. Tests are run the same way your users run them, at mid-speed dialup connections. Results are based on realistic response times and download rates and are completely isolated from the effects of caching, etc.

Multiple time zone coverage. eValid Test Services are available from up to six time zones (four USA plus Europe and Pacific Rim) so you know how your web site appears to users in all of the major markets.

Automated notification of test failures. When something goes wrong you are automatically sent email (or, you're paged) telling you of the problem.

Superior Return on Your Investment. Just imagine if your web site accounts for $100K/month in business. If your site is "off the air" even for a few hours, your lost-income costs could exceed the monthly cost of an eValid Test Services subscription.

eValid -- An Integrated Set Of Test Service Offerings

eValid Test Services are integrated to offer you a range of standardized test capabilities adapted to the most common web site managers' concerns. All eValid Test Services are oriented to measuring and testing how real users perceive your web site. Tests are executed from typical dial-up web site connections 24x7 from every 4 hours (lowest intensity) to every 15 minutes (highest intensity).

Tests confirm that selected web site pages (URL's) are present and are retrieved within customer preset maximum time limits.

Either 1-5 URLs or 6-12 URLs are downloaded in a non-cached environment and carefully timed. Error messages are issued when the actual retrieval times exceed customer specified limits.

There is complete logging of all test data for later analysis.

Tests simulate a "shopper" selecting items and purchasing them in a realistic manner using E-commerce transactions on your web site.

Up to 2 "picks" of products are included, plus user inputs that simulate the buying process.

Error messages are issued if the testing finds selected items are unavailable or if the purchase transaction fails.

Tests simulate a customer looking at various pages in your web site for certain text items or passages.

Tests download a selected set of pages from your web site and examine the content of up to 6 text areas from each page.

Error messages are issued if the testing finds the text you expect to be present on the page is absent or has moved to a new location.

Tests simulate a customer accessing information in a login-protected, restricted area of your web site and confirm that access is granted only with proper ID and password.

Tests go to selected page on your web site and simulate user qualification (login) process. At least two tests are performed: a legal login (success) and an illegal login (failure).

Error messages are issued if the testing finds that authorized users cannot get access when they are supposed to, or that unauthorized users gain access when they are not supposed to.
