NetOcean

NetOcean is a powerful back-end application simulator that removes dependencies on backend applications and third-party systems to enable faster quality & performance testing and accelerated time-to-market.

Why NetOcean?

It is a battle-proven solution to simulate backend application for performance testing and quality testing. Following are the benefits of NetOcean:

Reduce total cost of ownership for quality and performance testing an application with dependencies on third party back-end or production systems by way of avoiding the need of costly real back end or third party applications.
Significantly improve quality and performance of software applications.
Faster time-to-market software applications.
Improve availability and scheduling by allowing to stay focused on the system under test than worrying about other systems or services.
Allow agile development while enabling testing teams to decouple from complex architecture and allowing parallel development of dependent systems.

Service Virtualization :

Features
Software Specification

Highly Stable in Most Demanding Environments

More than a decade of experience in addressing application performance testing challenges around service virtualization or back-end system simulation.
NetOcean has passed the test of working at some of the most complex and demanding situations at leading network infrastructure companies.

Easy Test Automation

Availability of a Java API to automate controller and service management makes NetOcean developer’s first choice.

Most Comprehensive Protocol Support

NetOcean provides support for an extremely large set of protocols for:

Simulating http/ https based services – SOAP, XML, HTML, AJAX/ JSON.
Supporting FTP, SMTP, POP3, DNS, java, EJB, JMS, JDBC, CICS MF, MQ, Hessian, etc.
Supporting application services like Chase payment processing gateway, VISA issuers/merchant, Blackhawk network gift card processing, Responsys email, Cheetah mail, ReD (Retail Decisions).

Power of Appliance with Ease of Cloud

NetOcean is designed to function and perform as an appliance, yet it is extremely easy to maintain and deploy.
It can be used as a virtual machine. There are absolutely no complexities related to upgrade, maintenance, sandbox or concerns regarding conflicting software version

Extremely Powerful Appliance

A single appliance is capable of handling load, 100-1000x more than other legacy solutions available.

Internet True™ WAN simulation

Real-life simulation of WAN within the controlled lab environment, allowing to mimic geographically distributed load pattern along with varying bandwidth behavior.

Lightning Fast Service Virtualization

The deployment of service is a fast single step process.

Version Controlling of Service Definition

With changes or upgrades to the end-point service, it is extremely important to keep and manage version control for services created. NetOcean lets you do that with ease and to also enable an easy roll-back

Statistical Distribution of Services Time

This is to mimic a response served from a real end point server.
In a practical scenario, the response time from the endpoint server may vary with applied load. This real-life response time can be simulated using the service time settings provided by NetOcean

Extremely Easy to Manage

NetOcean has a built-in automated management and monitoring of the appliance and controllers.
There’s no need for a dedicated administrator to manage the appliance.

Customization of Simulated Services

NetOcean offers rich parameterization styles to help create appropriate data to be served by simulated services.
This is extremely useful in testing scenarios with variation in load parameters and subsequent response to each request.

Net Ocean captures and simulates production environment like behavior and performance characteristics of back-end systems and third party applications – needed by development and testing team, and make these characteristics available within test environment.
Net Ocean supports a wide range of technologies and protocols across web platforms for testing purposes. This document provides a quick insight into these supported technologies and protocols.
