A Brief Glance at the Load Testing Tools

A number of studies have highlighted website downtime may cost a business thousands of dollars per minute. A website can go down due to a number of reasons including sudden and insane increase in traffic. Hence, it becomes essential for the enterprise to assess the performance of its website under both normal as well as peak conditions. Also, it needs to determine the maximum operating capacity of the web application as part of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to avoid website downtime and crashes in future.

  2. A number of studies have highlighted website downtime may cost a business thousands of dollars per minute. A website can go down due to a number of reasons including sudden and insane increase in traffic. Hence, it becomes essential for the enterprise to assess the performance of its website under both normal as well as peak conditions. Also, it needs to determine the maximum operating capacity of the web application as part of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to avoid website downtime and crashes in future. z www.mindfiresolutions.com As a type of non-functional testing, load testing helps enterprises to understand the behavior of their websites under varying loads and conditions. The test results further help the business to determine the amount of load or pressure the application can withstand. While performing load testing, the testers simulate real-life user load to assess the performance of the website more accurately. They also use robust testing tools to evaluate the behavior of the application under varying loads and conditions within a short span of time.

  3. Brief Overview of 10 Widely Used Load Testing Tools z www.mindfiresolutions.com WebLOAD WebLOAD helps QA professionals to perform load testing of web application on both Windows and Linux. The testers can further use WebLOAD to perform load and stress testing of web applications using web technologies like AJAX, .NET, Oracle Forms, HTML5 and Adobe Flex. They can even use WebLOAD with both on-premise machines and the cloud. WebLOAD further enables users to perform load testing with complex test scenarios and heavy user load. They can even use WebLOAD under a flexible licensing agreement and varying price plans.

  4. LoadUI NG Pro z The commercial load testing tool enables testers to crate robust test cases with simple clicks. It further supports major protocols like SOAP, HTTP, REST, JMS and MQTT, along with varying API formats. The graphical user interface provided by LoadUI NG Pro makes it easier for testers to set up load scenarios. At the same time, the testers can avail advanced scripting feature and test result analysis. They can even set up both local and globally distributed load agents for varying load testing scenarios. The QA professionals can even reuse their existing functional test cases form both SoapUI and SoapUI NG Pro. LoadView The commercial, fully-managed, and on-demand load testing service helps QA professionals to perform load and stress testing without putting extra time and effort. Unlike load testing tools, LoadView performs stress and load testing with real web browsers.. www.mindfiresolutions.com

  5. z Load Xen The modern load testing tools enables QA professionals to perform load testing more effectively by simulating millions of virtual users at once. Load Xen allows users to scale up the application according to custom load parameters and more virtual users. Also, the testers have option to create real-user-like scenarios according to the workflow. At the same time, Load Xen also provides an array of useful features including option to simulate millions of virtual users, create real user like interaction, create complicated scenarios, concurrent tests, and real-time test results. www.mindfiresolutions.com

  6. The Grinder The open source load testing tool is popularly regarded as the Java load testing tool. The QA professionals can use the Grinder to load test any application with a Java API. However, the Grinder still supports major protocols like HTTP, SOAP and REST Web Services. It further allows testing professionals to write test scripts in two programming languages – Jython and Clojure. The users can further simplify test script development by availing centralized script editing and distribution feature. They can even create test data on the fly by using the data stored in both database and files. The Grinder further allows users to perform load testing based on a number of parameters. z www.mindfiresolutions.com Content Designed By: Mindfire Solutions
