On-demand load testing
LoadStorm is a SaaS application that provides load testing for web sites and web apps.
AbleTech worked remotely with the American-based client, leveraging our SaaS business experience and Ruby on Rails technical capability.
Areas of particular interest include:
- Optimising a user’s first time experience
- Using AJAX to enhance the application’s speed
- Using background processes to execute time-consuming tasks
- And using AJAX to feedback to the user the progress
- Applying screen-scraping tools to define and execute the load tests
Working with a remote client such as CustomerCentrix proved remarkably easy with tools such as Skype and IM. AbleTech were able to make the time zone differences a real asset, as tasks were completed here in New Zealand and ready for use when the client arrived at work the next day.
AbleTech has continued to build and apply its expertise in SaaS and start-up businesses.
