What do you do when your database or network is exhibiting symptoms of illness? This might sound like a silly question, but it?s no different from how the human body works: just as we contract a virus or pick up a bacterial infection, a network is susceptible to computer viruses in the form of glitchy code or system overload. Luckily, computer ?doctors? exist to eliminate such problems. They offer ?antibiotics? to fight the problems, which makes our lives so much easier. No one wants to get to that point of wanting to shove the computer out the window.

So how do these doctors go about treating our network or database problems? Can they test apps for ?signs of illness? as well? These independent contractors come to your office to run powerful software on your systems to first identify the problems, then to flush those problems away. The good thing about this is that these people and their technology will approach the issues in a completely different way than you have. You?ve been sitting with these extant errors so long that you couldn?t even see them, much less know how to resolve them. The ?treatment? these specialists will give your computers is beyond anything you could do yourself, unless you were specially trained and had access to comparable technology suites.

Now comes the waiting. Be patient. It?s like waiting out a cold. You have to let it run its course; there?s no one-minute solution. Think of it as you being the guy in the waiting room, waiting for his wife to give birth. You can?t will it to happen right away. Labor needs to run its course, but a woman?s body has wisdom to it and knows when the baby is ready to arrive. Same with your network and its treatment plan. The treatment will be gradual, but it will take effect.

This treatment we speak of consists of, to be specific, load testing software and mobile app testing software. Designed with the purpose of detecting and sorting errors, these programs will decide how to identify problems your computers have encountered and then apply solutions to each. It is a fairly straightforward process but unless you know what you?re doing or have written the code to the problem-solving technology, you might not understand exactly how the programs are working. Is it possible that these programs have outsmarted you and your colleagues? Perhaps. But don?t get too weirded out. There is just a very savvy person behind the fa?ade of the programs whose technique and skills were honed specifically for this purpose.
