Our engineers learnt the product and became very productive in creating various tests in record time (in couple of days after installation). WebLOAD has an efficient scripting language. It has many options and it is very easy to customize with data variables. Met all our requirements to load test and fix the application to match stringent repose time goals. We compared other tools and found them to be inadequate in different aspects like script capture, script customization and report generation. I will give high marks to the reports generated by the analytical tool to pin point the areas for improvement. To fine tune our scripts, we had a professional training session from WebLoad engineer. That session is very productive as well.

Nous utilisons WebLOAD pour tester toutes les applications développées par notre entreprise. Nous l'exploitons sur des projets externes (développement sur mesure) et des produits internes (logiciel en tant que service). Il est utilisé uniquement pour les tests de performance afin d'assurer des améliorations continues dans les versions à venir de nos produits. Il nous permet de nous concentrer sur les domaines de développement appropriés où nous pouvons expérimenter des modifications dans le code et voir instantanément si le changement est bénéfique pour la performance de l'application.

I like best how quickly we are able to test complex use cases scenarios for load testing, identify bottlenecks and fix them. We were in a great hurry and without a lot of experience with Performance Testing. The customer support is great, there isn't a single question or issue we had, that wasn't quickly resolved by support. As a DevOps engineer, I really like that our Manual QA can easily create complex use cases/ scripts by simply recording the use cases, without any need to know how to code - it saves me a lot of time not to have to create those scripts and scenarios myself, plus I get the inputs of the product / business analysts side which is key for making sure I test the right stuff. The correlation, answer validation and parameterization is done automatically with almost no need for intervention by me. When I do need to change the script I can easily do so directly in the code (JavaScript). The reports and analytics are excellent and save a lot of time and money by identifying bottlenecks and what we can do to fix them. We ruled out many (expensive) options that we thought could fix our bottleneck, but after testing with WebLOAD we realized these fixes won't solve our root problem - thus saving us a lot of money moving to more expensive infrastructure unnecessarily. I love how WebLOAD integrates with Amazon AWS so I can on demand deploy the load generators simulating as many concurrent users as needed without having to buy expensive hardware - this is really cool.
