Hi SOAP users: I figured that Apache SOAP users would benefit from knowing about the Web Services Performance Kit we put together. It uses TestMaker to generate load to IBM, BEA and SunONE application servers. TestMaker uses Apache SOAP. -Frank
-- PushToTest Releases Web Services Performance Kit New benchmark is first to compare Web Service performance on SunONE, BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere platforms CAMPBELL, Ca., November 4, 2002 PushToTest today released the Web Services Performance Kit, the first benchmark to measure the performance of Web Services running on IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic and SunONE Application Server platforms. Initial Performance Kit performance results are available on the PushToTest web site at http://www.pushtotest.com/ptt/saskit.html. "The Web Services Performance Kit furthers our mission to provide reliable, repeatable performance measurement tools for systems that drive Web Service-based business," said Frank Cohen, Founder at PushToTest. "It delivers immediately useful tools and knowledge to enterprise information managers that are making Web Service infrastructure choices." The Web Services Performance Kit was developed by PushToTest to enable performance evaluations for systems supporting the SOAP protocol running on IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic and SunONE Application Server platforms. It features detailed step-by-step instructions to configure a Test Web Service on each server, plus a free open-source Web Service test utility called TestMaker to show the actual performance of each server. It is designed for software developers, QA analysts and IT managers that require performance data to support Web Service infrastructure purchase decisions. It also allows enterprises to test and fine-tune software applications under development. "This benchmark fills the void for a simple test that shows Web Service throughput in today's shipping Web Service platforms," said Geoff Lane, Technical Team Lead, JG Sullivan Company, an early user of the Web Services Performance Kit. It models the stress placed on a Web Service application server from Web Service client applications making SOAP RPC-encoded requests to a Test Web Service (TWS) that simulates a database-driven Web Service. The Web Service Performance Kit is available immediately from PushToTest at no charge. Free downloads are available at http://www.PushToTest.com/ptt/saskit.
