Load Testing Better

“I Love LoadStorm!!! It’s simple to use & aggressively priced. Thanks to the team for always being there to assist and answer quickly for all the queries. We will use LoadStorm again and again. Well done!" - Priya Gandhi

"Your product is awesome! Thanks for your help! Setting up a LoadStorm stress test against my app was easy and fast. In a very short amount of time, I was able to set up several tests, run small trials, tweak and then run my larger load tests. A great experience." - Andrew Grubbs, Sr Technical Architect, Malcolm Pirnie

Somebody sent me a link to a YouTube video that was recorded during a conversation with Verizon customer support. The issue is about calculating the billing.

Apparently, Verizon is overcharging the quoted price by 10,000%. And the worst part is that they don't understand why that is wrong.

Scott's tip for the day: When performance testing your web application, be precise with your key performance indicators. Make sure your metrics are not calculated with Verizon Math.
