I'm building a web app against a database where a small number of records (about 5000) are active at the same time. Each active working record probably experiences 50-300 changes by 30 users over a 4 hour period ... which is thousands of changes per minute. Because our testing environment is so static, testing is not realistic, and som...
It seems that the company that I work for is always struggling with our customers’ server environments. Specifically, we almost always encounter problems with testing servers and production servers, and the fact that they always seem to be configured differently. When we test the applications that we develop, the testing servers behave ...
We have a web application that is sufficiently complicated that it's hard to accurately simulate production load. One of our coping mechanisms has been to make sure that the hardware in the test environment is always slower that our production hardware, so load and performance problems will be more pronounced. Are other folks out there...
I know it may sound stupid but anyway. Maybe there is a trick? I just want that the local web server receives requests from my local machine but somehow sees a different IP address? Even one single that is different from the infamous 127.0.0.1 would of a great assistance. Are there any options available? ...
Hi, I have a CRM 4.0 solution in production and I would like to make a replica of it so that I can use it as a test server. What are the alternatives to accomplish this? Cons / Pros? ...
I'm currently doing performance and load testing of a complex many-tier system investigating the effect of different changes, but I'm having problems keeping track of everything: There are many copies of different assemblies Orignally released assemblies Officially released hotfixes Assemblies that I've built containing further additi...
I want all the production data for my web-app to also flow through my testing environment. Essentially, I want to forward every http request for the production site to the test site (and also have the production website serve it!). What is a good way to do this? My site is built with Django, and served by mod_wsgi. Is this best implem...
I have a site that physically has this directory structure. -public_html --conf > contains file conf.php -SiteFiles -LiveSite > contains file ConfLive.php Directory public_html/conf/ contains a file called conf.php this file contains the following include include_once('/home/mydir/SiteFiles/LiveSite/conf/ConfLive.iphp'); I wan...
As a Python developer using mostly Django, I've grown accustomed to have a built-in test server for my projects, which spares me from setting up Apache for every single project I'm working on my local development machine. Is there something similar for PHP which let's me say "serve this directory as PHP project on localhost:8080"? I'm n...
