If you have mainframes, green screen apps, or other terminal applications in your enterprise IT landscape, it’s critical to know how to performance test them to understand how much load they can tolerate. Most large enterprise IT environments still include terminal applications – and many web apps rely on integrations with them. But performance testing them is a challenge: The tooling available is limited, meaning teams must either manage two separate performance testing workstreams or face gaps in coverage.

In this webinar, we’ll share why it’s critical to consider your mainframe testing needs as part of your overall performance testing strategy and show you a unified approach for performance testing mainframes alongside all the other applications you have under test with Tricentis NeoLoad. Watch this webinar to learn:

The critical role terminal applications continue to play in many modern enterprise IT environments

How an integrated strategy that includes both legacy and modern applications can help you improve test coverage and save time

How to NeoLoad can help you achieve this seamlessly from a single interface to improve performance, reliability, and coverage across your entire IT landscape

The modern application environment has become increasingly complex, with microservices-based architectures, multi-cloud deployments, and extensive integrations that make it difficult to gauge and understand true application performance. A typical enterprise has only a handful of experts that can reliably measure how full systems perform, and with enterprises shifting to shorter release cycles in DevOps, these resources can quickly become constrained. But they don’t have to be.

This webinar will share key tactics that can help you develop a performance testing strategy that enables teams to gain the predictability, validation, and assurance that your users demand – at the volume and velocity your business requires.

Register now to hear our experts share seven ways to implement standardized performance engineering so you will know:

Scaling fast-performing applications in the cloud introduces new considerations and implications that should be factored into the testing process. While the cloud presents significant opportunities to build and ship software faster, it won’t automatically make your applications fast, stable, and scalable. Your testing strategy should help you understand the performance-related characteristics and implications of your application architecture, whether you are testing a distributed or microservices system that was built in the cloud or a monolithic system that is being migrated to the cloud.
