Case Study: Hotwire.com achieves reliable eCommerce performance under real-world Internet conditions with Shunra PerformanceSuite

Hotwire.com Selects Shunra Software to Proactively Ensure the Performance of its eCommerce Applications Over the Internet

Hotwire.com, a discount travel site, needed to ensure its eCommerce applications delivered a consistent user experience across widely varying Internet conditions—from slow dial-up to high-speed broadband—while frequently updating the site. The QA team faced the challenge of accurately replicating remote end-user network behavior so even small changes could be tested for real-world impact before deployment.

Hotwire adopted Shunra PerformanceSuite to emulate production network conditions, capture and replay real-world traffic, and build a library of baseline scenarios. This gave the team a controllable staging environment that reduced risk, cut rework and testing time, and accelerated confident deployments by validating performance under realistic end-user conditions.
