E-Test Suite 5.1 is a set of tools designed to test and report on all aspects of a website, allowing for as much troubleshooting and capacity planning as needed.

One component of this powerful tool allows an administrator to test a website for potential problems. All objects encountered on a page are recorded and tested for functionality.

To check the performance and possible scaleability of a site the e-Load module simulates multiple users and browsers accessing the targeted site.

It measures the effects on the site and gives summaries of any possible problems in specific areas.

E-Monitor sits on the web server and monitors live traffic from users. If any problems become apparent, it will alert an administrator and determine whether any solutions are available.

For tracking down and identifying any defects within a site, the d-Tracker module scans web-based applications for any possible problems.

ServerStats compiles a multitude of statistics for the targeted server. Server-side activity is screened while tests are conducted, and any possible problems are highlighted.

For more detailed information, e-Reporter summarises all information. This can then be analysed in WebReporter, or alternatively exported for use in Excel.

Although reports can be filtered, the WebReporter interface is a little confusing at times and can lead to an administrator accessing the wrong information.

Price: (as reviewed ex. VAT) £10,335
