TRANSACTION MONITORING VIA WATCHMOUSE'S GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Transaction Monitoring (also referred to as 'scripting' or 'web application testing') checks the behaviour of your site and identifies exactly where bottle necks or problems occur. Transaction Monitoring ensures you know how your customers experience your site when they interact with it from different locations.

Transaction monitoring scripts can be written to identify a wide variety of possible issues, from slow page response times, to monitoring the behaviour of forms such as login pages and shopping carts. Transaction monitoring scripts should be run from a global infrastructure. Without using a worldwide network of checkpoints, you cannot accurately predict how your site behaves when customers interact with it from locations all around the world.

WatchMouse enables you to easily upload your transaction monitoring scripts and run them using our global infrastructure of 25+ checkpoints. WatchMouse has also partnered with Badboy Software to provide customers with access to a free* scripting tool.

Badboy's Scripting Tool

Badboy's scripting tool provides an easy way to record multiple transaction steps and offers a simple yet comprehensive capture/replay interface.
Having recorded a script using the Badboy scripting tool, simply upload the script and you'll be able to run it from WatchMouse checkpoints, using a spare rule in your existing WatchMouse account.

Scripting Tutorial

Download an illustrated tutorial below, which explains how to:

• Record a script using the Badboy or jMeter tools
• Upload scripts into your WatchMouse account
• Check the execution of scripts in the WatchMouse log viewer

Alternatively, for advanced scripting, WatchMouse supports jMeter. jMeter is written in Java and runs on many platforms, including Windows, Mac and Linux. jMeter is available from: jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/.
