Shunra, the leading authority in application performance engineering solutions, announced today the upcoming release of vCat 7.0, a Windows-based network emulation software solution. Along with the August release of PerformanceSuite 7.0 and NetworkCatcher 7.0, the newest version of vCat continues Shunras commitment to mobile application performance testing.
vCat 7.0 transforms a PC into a real-world Wide Area Network (WAN) test environment. The solutions newest version tests the quality of network performance for users, under a variety of current and potential network conditions directly from the desktop.
Mobile users expect the same performance out of their mobile browsing experience as they do from their desktop or laptop, and as such, every second of delay results in unacceptable application or site abandonments. It is therefore essential that application development keep pace with user expectations for performance, Shunra COO Bill Varga said. With vCat 7.0 businesses will be able to know how well their mobile applications will work in the office, a coffee shop, or an underground subway from the convenience of their desktop before application deployment, and they will receive specific guidance on how to optimize performance, thus avoiding costly performance issues in production.
Among the significant updates to the solution are enhancements designed to more accurately recreate real-world network conditions for mobile testing. For example, vCat 7.0 enables engineers and testers to account for the variability of bandwidth availability commonly experienced in Mobile and Web networks. In addition, testers can emulate the high latency conditions that effect mobile services and are the primary cause of poor performance.
vCat 7.0 also features enhancements to improve the analysis and optimization of application performance. vCats Web and Mobile analysis capabilities allow performance to be analyzed from a business process perspective, so organizations can more quickly pinpoint the root cause of potential performance bottlenecks. In addition, the latest release automatically delivers specific, customized performance optimization suggestions based on proprietary and proven rulesets.
vCat 7.0 also features an improved integration with existing PerformanceSuite solutions, including the recently enhanced NetworkCatcher 7.0, allowing users to capture and incorporate real-world network conditions into their application performance testing efforts.
New and enhanced features of vCat 7.0 include:
