Social Load Testing?

by Jon 7/8/2008 10:58:00 PM

Five Runs (silly how many Ruby/Rails-oriented companies are named with two words and one with a number) developed a social load testing solution that appears to help you load test your site and trace bottlenecks in code, but instead of pounding on your own site using local automation, it allows live visitors -- fellow developers who need load tests done for their sites -- to pound on your site.

Interesting concept. We even have social networking for load testing.. LOL..

About the author

Jon Davis

Jon Davis (aka "stimpy77") is a software and web developer by day and a software and web enthusiast (geek) by night. He was recently a senior web engineer for the enthusiast division of a major magazine publishing company for nearly two years. He has been a programmer, developer, and consultant for web and Windows software solutions professionally since 1997, with experience ranging from OS and hardware support to DHTML programming to IIS/ASP web apps to Java network programming to Visual Basic applications to C# desktop apps.

Software in all forms is also his sole hobby, whether playing PC games or tinkering with programming them. "I was playing Defender on the Commodore 64," he reminisces, "when I decided at the age of 12 or so that I want to be a computer programmer when I grow up."

Jon is currently engaged in a short-term ASP.NET contract and is available for hire for short-term or permanent work in Phoenix or via telecommute.
