- Flex Performance, Load and Stress Testing

You use FLEX!

FLEX®, Adobe®'s development solution for rich Internet applications (RIA's), is an open source framework for creating highly interactive and intuitive applications that deploy in an identical manner on most browsers, workstations and operating systems. To communicate between the client workstation and the server, FLEX relies on a protocol called AMF (Action script Messaging Format).

But can you test FLEX?

In its most recent version (FLEX3), which provides even more options, FLEX uses version 3 of the AMF protocol. This latest version is radically different to the previous version (AMF0).

Your load testing software's compliance with the latest version 3 of this protocol is a prerequisite for carrying out your performance tests.

Without a complete and coherent AMF v0 and v3 support, you will not be able to carry out exhaustive testing, which could result in the deployment of an application whose behavior has not been validated under load.

« Compared to our current tool I would rate NeoLoad much more highly and it also compares very favourable to the higher end commercial tools. Once I started using the tool I found it very easy to pick up and it wasn’t long at all before I had the ability to do most things required to write (and then run) usable and complex loadtest scripts»
