The Gomez Recorder
Record Once, Playback Anywhere
The easy-to-use “point & click” Gomez Recorder makes it simple to record critical customer transactions — even with Rich Internet Application technologies like AJAX, Silverlight, Flex and Flash. When an end-user makes a hotel reservation, orders a sweater or transfer funds to a retirement account, each of these transactions involves complex interactions between their browser, your application and any third parties that you rely on. With Gomez’s “Record once, playback anywhere” technology, even non-technical users can record complex transactions and start testing and monitoring within a matter of minutes. Once recorded, transactions can be used:
- To test locally and gain instant access to Web performance metrics
- To test and monitor using Internet Explorer and Firefox
- To load test new Websites, applications and features
- To monitor Web application performance and availability from Last Mile and Internet Backbone locations around the world
Record complex business transactions with "point & click" simplicity
