Mercury Application Delivery Foundation

Mercury Application Delivery Foundation™ integrates and consolidates testing and tuning processes, data, and reusable scripts across all critical steps in the quality and performance delivery lifecycle. QA engineers, system architects, application architects, and system administrators can work together using a common set of performance requirements and shared assets across the product lifecycle to deliver optimal system performance.

Isolate Bottlenecks with Performance Monitors, Analysis

Mercury LoadRunner uses a suite of integrated performance monitors to quickly isolate performance bottlenecks. They include monitors for the network, application servers, J2EE, Web servers, and database servers. These monitors are designed to accurately measure the performance within and across every tier, server, and component of the system during the load test. In addition, the LoadRunner Analysis module automatically correlates this performance data with end-user response times, so you can quickly and easily determine the impact and source of bottlenecks. The LoadRunner Analysis module also automatically generates standard and custom management reports for communicating to management the application’s capacity to deliver to business requirements.
