End-user performance testing,
measured as users feel it.

UXperform is PinnacleQM's platform for end-user performance engineering. It verifies, tracks, monitors and reports user performance across systems and devices using AI and a virtual workforce.

The challenge

Server metrics miss
the user's view.

Infrastructure dashboards can show healthy servers while users wait for slow pages, frozen apps and timeouts. Organising user testing at scale is hard, so real experience problems surface in complaints, often before technology teams notice anything is wrong.

UXperform uses PinnacleQM's AI platform and virtual workforce to act as users, measuring response times across systems and devices and tracking them over time, so performance regressions are caught and fixed before real users notice.

Benefits

User experience,
measured.

UXperform makes end-user performance a measured quality characteristic rather than an anecdote, so product owners see exactly where users wait.

User-centred Real journeys. Real timings.

Across systems, browsers and devices.

  • User perspective

    Response times are measured as users experience them, so problems users feel are captured directly.

  • Virtual workforce

    Virtual users run journeys at scale, so coverage grows without recruiting, scheduling or organising human testers.

  • Cross-device

    Timings are compared across browsers, devices and locations, so slow devices and regions are identified quickly.

  • Trend tracking

    Each release is compared with the last, so performance regressions are visible release by release.

  • Device lab link

    UXperform connects Msight to physical and cloud device labs, so mobile timings are included too.

  • Clear reporting

    Reports show which journeys are slow and where, so product owners know exactly where to act.

How we can help

What UXperform
does.

Capabilities for verifying and monitoring end-user performance.

Performance verification

UXperform verifies end-user response times for key journeys during testing against targets agreed with product owners, and flags releases that miss them before go-live, so slow journeys never surprise customers.

  • Journey response times
  • Target verification
  • Pre-release checks

Journey timings verified in test

Performance tracking

Timings are tracked across releases, so a performance regression is detected as soon as it appears and the change responsible can be identified and fixed quickly, often in the same sprint.

  • Release-over-release trends
  • Regression detection
  • Baselines

Journey monitoring

Virtual users run journeys on schedules, monitoring experience in test and pre-production environments, so problems surface before real users are affected and environments can be compared side by side at any time.

  • Scheduled journeys
  • Environment monitoring
  • Early warnings

Device and browser timings

Performance is compared across devices, browsers and operating systems, including through device labs with Msight, so device-specific slowdowns are identified, prioritised and fixed for the customers who use those devices.

  • Device comparisons
  • Browser comparisons
  • Device lab integration

Reporting

Reports show slow journeys, affected devices and trends in terms product owners and leaders recognise, so priorities for improvement are clear and progress is easy to follow over time and release.

  • Journey-level reports
  • Device breakdowns
  • Actionable summaries

Root-cause support

User timings can be combined with server, network and latency monitoring to locate causes, so teams know which component to tune first and can verify every fix with new measurements.

  • Cause analysis
  • Tuning support

Our approach

From baseline
to continuous tracking.

UXperform starts with a baseline of key journeys and devices, then builds into continuous tracking of end-user performance with every release.

Diverse team working at computers in bright office
UXperform Fast for users.
Proven by data.
  1. Select

    Choose key user journeys, devices and performance targets, agreed with product owners.

  2. Baseline

    Measure current end-user response times across devices to set the reference baseline.

  3. Integrate

    Add journeys to regression, so timings run with every release, and connect monitoring.

  4. Track

    Report trends to product owners and alert on performance regressions with every release.

  5. Improve

    Support tuning and re-measure after fixes, so improvements are confirmed with data.

Voice of the customer

In the words
of our customers.

We integrated Pinnacle’s teams and solutions into our capability. Services and solutions engaged within project delivery, business acceptance, patching and upgrades. We automate much more, with minimal backlogs as we automate within sprints. Business user satisfaction has never been higher.
Chief Technology Officer Enterprise systems client
Pinnacle now supports our SAP S/4HANA projects, integrations, maintenance and patching changes, reusing automation for scaled data obfuscation for offshore development teams and automating business processes. Great collaboration. I cannot imagine doing this without them.
SAP Programme Director SAP S/4HANA programme
We use Pinnacle’s services and automation platform for all our test and automation demands. Virtual worker bot groups replace each business team’s need to support changes. A small Pinnacle offshore team manages a massive library of tens of thousands of automated transactions. This is a massive saving and value to our company. We love this collaborative way of working.
Vice President, HR Services Enterprise client
After working with Pinnacle on client projects, we now involve them in business projects and maintenance too. Projects run smoother, with realism and optimisation in schedules. We deliver more reliably and achieve greater customer success. They set a high bar for communication, pace and quality.
Delivery Executive Software company
Pinnacle has helped ensure our customers are on latest versions and manage impacts to client systems. A valued partner in delivering upgrades and integrations, their automation frameworks work well with our platforms.
Executive Software company
We struggled to meet growing demands using traditional tools. With Pinnacle, we adopted several of their SaaS automation platforms. Now we have an army of virtual bots running any time, and we are not struggling to maintain script libraries anymore.
