As a new systems analyst, you suspect that testing web-based systems probably involves a

different set of tools and techniques, compared to testing traditional LAN-based systems.

Because you’ve always wanted to run your own IT company, you have decided to launch a

start-up firm called WebTest, Inc., that would offer consulting services specifically aimed at

testing the performance, integrity, efficiency, and security of Internet-based systems.

Your idea is to identify and purchase various website testing tools that currently are

available, then use these tools as a website testing consultant. No one in your area offers

this type of consulting service, so you have high hopes.

Now, you need to perform Internet research to learn more about web testing software

that is available. Review the Internet Resources Tools section, which is Part D of the

Systems Analyst’s Toolkit, and use a search engine to develop a list of at least four products

that you might want to use. For each product, write up a brief description of its

overall purpose, its features and benefits, its cost, and how it would fit.
