Disconnect the network

For Testers

Stress testing desktop applications isn't exciting, but when they fail due to system resource issues it typically results in lost data and frustrated customers.

Confirm the application fails gracefully when memory is unavailable
Validate minimum system requirements just prior to release
Ensure a user's changes aren't lost when the disk is full

For Developers

Tracking down memory and disk space bugs, or fixing issues that crop up when the application loses network connectivity is a pain. Resource Thief helps you reproduce defects then stays out of the way while you debug and fix them.

Apply stresses to a specific application, without impacting the rest of your system
Run failure scenarios through the debugger, not a virtual machine
Fix hard-to-reproduce issues faster, with less frustration

For Support

Spending an hour setting up a virtual machine to simulate a customer's six-year-old PC is no fun. With Resource Thief, you’ll be able to dive right into reproducing their issue and pass along relevant details to the development team.

Quickly reproduce rare but time consuming customer issues
Delight your customers by confirming and escalating issues faster
Stop escalating vague "customer says it doesn't work" issues
