Monitoring Services Request Form
eValid Home

eValid's Rich Internet Application Monitoring Services are hosted, managed automated testing of secure web transactions with 100% reality and repeatability. Operating at frequencies as high as 10/hour, eValid Rich Internet Application Monitoring Services act to confirm essential availability of end-to-end E-commerce applications.
 

Introduction
eValid's web rich internet application monitoring watches the performance and integrity of your end-to-end business applications in real time. Operating at established regular intervals 24/7, the eValid robot test engine sends status, warnings and failure notices to you in real time, based on the results of tests as they play back automatically. Timely information like this alerts you to any problems in your web applications and network monitoring software before your users experience them.

Technical Features
An eValid rich internet application monitor can simulate essentially ANY transaction with 100% accuracy and repeatability.

  • eValid test runs are state preserving (stateful) actual browser playbacks -- not HTTP-based approximations.
  • Transaction is equivalent to an actual user working with your website.
  • 1-tier, 2-tier, or 3-tier application tests are available.
  • eValid 3-tier application monitoring has a very low false alarm rate (three tries are made before sending an alarm via email [to a pager]).
  • Able to handle any kind of user application/interaction, including JavaScript, ActiveX, Flash, Applets.
  • Because the tests are run from a consumer-grade DSL line, you know you get accurate "last-mile" response-time performance measurements and performance reports.

eValid Advantages
eValid monitoring playbacks are full-context, 100% Realistic Simulations of user activities. There's nothing "virtual" about eValid playbacks. The Medical Analogy is an illustration of the differences between eValid monitoring and "conventional monitoring" as shown in this Technology Level Comparison Chart. And we have a complete description of how eValid Monitoring Is Completely Different from all other types of monitoring.
