West Wind Web Surge

West Wind Web Surge is a handy tool for anyone looking to do URL and load testing. It’s super important for making sure your website runs smoothly, but let’s be honest, it can take up a lot of time. Luckily, this software makes it easier!

Capture HTTP Requests Easily

This program lets you capture HTTP requests either one at a time or in full sessions. It focuses on being efficient and clear so you know exactly what’s going on.

Multiple Ways to Handle Data

With West Wind Web Surge, you have several ways to handle the HTTP data you've captured or entered. You can use the built-in HTTP proxy capture tool, check out traces in a text file, or create manual entries for your requests. So many options!

Create Manual Tests

If you want to go the manual route for testing, you can easily fill out an integrated entry form. This form lets you include all sorts of details like the URL, content, and headers. It doesn’t matter if your requests are simple or complex; West Wind can handle them all—GET, POST, PUT, DELETE—you name it!

Save and Edit Your Sessions

Once you're done customizing your session, saving it to your PC is a breeze! And if you change your mind later? No problem! You can edit or delete those sessions anytime.

Testing Process Overview

The testing process covers both URL testing and REST APIs. You'll need to set how long each task runs and decide how many sessions to run at once.

Dive into Test Results

The results will show you tons of info—like total requests, errors encountered, threads used, plus total and average time spent on tasks. If you're curious about any specific request details, just click on the “Results” tab!

Exporting Your Reports

You can also export your reports in formats like XML, HTML, or JSON. Super convenient!
