A wide range of network environments

If your business can be accessed over the Internet, regardless of whether the business is located in Public Cloud, Apsara Stack, hybrid cloud, or self-managed data centers (IDCs), PTS can initiate stress testing traffic by using Content Distribution Network (CDN) nodes in hundreds of cities around the world and the CDN nodes of carriers to maximize the simulation of real business scenarios.

Clients that use protocols, such as HTTP, HTTPS, or WebSocket

PTS supports the stress testing of operations that use the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. If your client is a self-developed application, mobile web page, PC web page, WeChat mini program, or C/S-structured software, you can use PTS to perform stress testing tasks. PTS also integrates open source JMeter to support more protocols and scenarios. For example, you can use JMeter and WebSocket plug-ins to perform stress testing tasks on clients that use the WebSocket protocol.
