First OpenSTA Commercial Module.

A Beta Program is designed to allow interested parties to participate in utilising all commercial modules for OpenSTA as they are released. The first of these commercial modules is OpenSTA DB Monitor, a module that allows users to monitor the performance of their database servers. Using OpenSTA and the associated OpenSTA DB Monitor module, users can perform realistic e-business application heavy load or stress tests with performance measurement while monitoring database performance.

The OpenSTA DB Monitor module allows users to monitor the performance of database servers and pinpoint performance issues up to the SQL statement level while running a load test of their WAE or while their WAE runs in production. OpenSTA DB Monitor modules are available for SYBASE Adaptive Server, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL. The OpenSTA DB Monitor module collects performance data relating to the performance of the Web Application Environment back-end database so that users can set thresholds for a range of database specific performance criteria (active transactions, blocked transactions, etc). If a threshold is exceeded during a test, the user is notified by a visual alarm. Facilities are also provided for custom SQL requests to be sent to the database during the test. Offline results display is also provided.
