People sometimes wonder how we can charge so much less, especially considering that we’re running real browsers for every virtual user, which costs significantly more than any other load testing technique.

The answer is that we have built an innovative technology that utilizes open source and cloud computing, which allows us to keep our costs very low, despite our higher overhead per virtual user.

What this means in terms of physical location of our browsers is that it’s determined by our cloud computing provider, Amazon. Those locations are:

• Three data centers are located in the Washington, DC (US east coast).
• Two data centers are located in Dubline, Ireland (western Europe).

You can select these different geographic regions when scheduling a load test, as shown in this screenshot:
