Load Balancing
When looking for a web application testing vendor, it is critical that one key area of focus should be load balancing checks.
Why is this so vital?
I have seen pairs of load balanced web servers running the same application on completely different web server types. I have also seen load balanced web servers running the same web server type, but configured differently. For obvious reasons, if this is not detected early on in the testing process, critical vulnerabilities could be missed.
Why the load balance rant? Zeus has just launched a virtual load balancer. It has apparently passed Vmware’s “tringent Virtual Appliance Certification program”. Oh, okay then.
I smell trouble.
