Patent number: 10067850Abstract: A method for real-time analysis of results from a load test performed on a target website includes calculating first-level aggregated test results within each of a plurality of load server instances that generate a load on the target website. The first-level aggregated test results are calculated from data points received by each of the load server instances from the target website. The first-level aggregated test results include a sum of the data points, a count of the number of the data points, a sum of squares of the data points, and an average of the data points. A standard deviation result (STDEV) is calculated and chart is generated on a display via a graphical user interface. The chart provides a visual representation of a performance metric for the load test based on the standard deviation result.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2016Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Akamai Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Charles A. Vazac, Tal Broda, Michael Hemmert, Mukul Sharma

Publication number: 20180011774Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes scanning a clip of messages that includes message requests and message responses arranged in a sequence. The scanning is performed based on one or more search parameters and produces a list of one or more name/value pairs. The clip is utilized to perform a load test on a target website. Each name/value pair has a corresponding value. For each name/value pair in the list a message request in the clip is identified where the corresponding value is first used. Then, looking backwards in the sequence from the message request where the corresponding value is first used, prior message responses are located where the corresponding value is found. An extraction point is specified in the clip for the corresponding value as a latest message response in the sequence where the corresponding value was returned from the target website. The corresponding value is then stored as a property.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2017Publication date: January 11, 2018Inventors: Charles A. Vazac, Tana Christine Jackson, Tal Broda, Kendall Cosby

Patent number: 8510600Abstract: An automated method for provisioning a grid used to run a load test on a target website includes sending one or more requests in a multi-threaded manner to at least one cloud provider, the one or more requests for an allocation of N load server instances and M result server instances which comprise the grid. Requests received back from the cloud provider are also handled in a multi-threaded manner; any errors occurring during the allocation being corrected automatically. The N load server instances and the M result server instances are then verified to be operational and correctly running software deployed to provide defined test services. Errors identified during the verification are automatically corrected either by attempting to restart a failed instance or allocating a different instance.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2012Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: SOASTA, Inc.Inventors: Tal Broda, Matthew Solnit, Kenneth C.

Patent number: 8306195Abstract: In one embodiment, a graphical user interface (“GUI”) enables the efficient composition and execution of a test of a message-based application, Web application, or SOA systems' capacity to receive, process and respond to message traffic. The GUI may be used to generate a test composition by dragging and dropping message clips onto one or more tracks. Each clip includes one or more message, with each track being organized into one or more bands. Each track and each band may run contemporaneously to send messages to a target device or application. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2010Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: SOASTA, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth C.
