Many applications in the competitive software market are plagued by serious issues which a!ect performance, scalability and availability. Despite high profile failures of critical business systems, performance and test automation is often neglected.

Most companies do not invest in performance and test automation primarily because of the exorbitant costs involved. Expensive licensing options, costly annual maintenance fees and inflated professional services rates often amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Fabric can drastically reduce your costs by using open source alternatives with equivalent features to proprietary software. This simplifies the cost model and levels the playing field for smaller companies who cannot negotiate site licenses or large discounts with closed source competitors.
Fabric has a wide range of solutions to meet your performance and test automation requirements. From performance testing through to functional GUI automation, systems and availability monitoring through to test management. A practical open source alternative exists to support all of these activities.

Fabric will choose from a range of reliable and affordable open source alternatives to meet your performance and test automation needs. For performance testing we typically use JMeter, OpenSTA or the Grinder to facilitate a variety of test types including baseline, load, stress, soak and component tuning scenarios. For automation we use Selenium, Watir, AutoIt or Java to support most common client applications.

Performance and test automation solutions simulating users with real browsers can be conducted from your site or from global locations including America, Europe and Asia. Altentee also o!ers the ability to host test environments supporting Windows Server or Red Hat Enterprise Linux with Oracle or MSSQL at a fraction of the cost using innovative cloud computing alternatives.

Our support lines aren't squirreled away behind expensive yearly maintenance costs or lengthy release cycles. We select from tools which have an active developer community with frequent updates and a strong user base. You may optionally subscribe to an ongoing support service for any of the tools Fabric employs after we have delivered final reports.
