Web services are the heart of Service Oriented Architectures in today's enterprises designed to support software-to-software interactions. This is increasingly true as mobile and social applications become more popular. Web services often power high-performance, high-transaction applications where low latency and high availability are critical.
SmartBear has made API monitoring easier than ever by integrating soapUI, our well-loved API testing tool, with AlertSite web performance monitoring. The same test scripts created by Developers and Testers for pre-deployment desktop testing can be used by IT/Operations and e-Commerce teams for speed and availability monitoring from AlertSite's 80+ global locations.
When a monitor fails and an alert is issued, IT/Operations can send the transaction information back to the Development team for more collaborative issue resolution.
AlertSite supports both SOAP and REST web service monitoring for both single- or multi-step interactions with Web services.
AlertSite agents can replicate one or more end-client requests and monitor Web services for availability and proper content:
-
Network connectivity errors
-
Socket-based errors
-
Http protocol errors
-
SSL errors
-
Authentication errors
-
End Point Availability
-
Remote Method Availability
-
Remote Method Response Time
-
Remote Method Returned Data for accuracy and expected values via keyword
