AlertFox Real Browser Monitoring: find problems before your end-users do!
Using AlertFox’s Web performance testing and monitoring service you can identify common problems such as slow Web response times, failed transactions or time outs,
bugs in Ajax, Flash or Silverlight front-end applets, or even different user experiences in different locations or browsers.
See AlertFox in action below:
I. Applet related issues - Problems that relate to videos, interactive maps,
graphs or navigation elements
 |
 |
|
Classic monitoring is only about HTML and JavaScript.
It cannot execute or test
Javascript, AJAX or modern HTML5
code. E.g. if a map is embedded into a site,
classic monitoring may only check the URLs within
that embedded code. |
AlertFox Real Browser Monitoring can
interact with the map. It can zoom
in, pan around and is even able to check whether the red
marker is at the right location.
AlertFox can test HTML, HTML5 and
also Java, Silverlight and Flash
applets (e. g. Youtube). |
II: Visual glitches -
Misplaced Images, Wrong Images, Layout
Errors
 |
 |
|
Concerning images, classic monitoring
can
only access the HTML code of the IMG tag.
For example, it can check whether the filename is correct. |
AlertFox Real Browser Monitoring "sees" the image. It has access to the
fully rendered page. It checks whether the right image is shown. At the
right place. AlertFox uses
state-of-the-art image recognition
to "look" at a website - just like a
real human does. |
III: Complex Functionality -
Broken Credit Card Payment Process,
Misbehaving Virtual Shopping Carts
 |
 |
|
Classic monitoring is limited to the JavaScript
source code. It cannot run the
Javascript code. |
AlertFox Real Browser Monitoring has access to the fully
rendered
content. It can automate all checkout steps and
can even
check the final price, for example.
It can also automate and test complex
AJAX (e. g. Facebook, Gmail or
Google Documents). |
