What is LoadStorm?
LoadStorm is a cloud-based load and performance testing platform used to test the stability and scalability of web and mobile applications under heavy load. It simulates a high volume of concurrent virtual users accessing an application to identify performance bottlenecks before launch.
Key features of LoadStorm include:
- Ability to generate thousands of concurrent users from the cloud to load test apps
- In-depth analytics on critical web app performance metrics like response times, throughput, errors
- Testing API load capacity
- Geo-distributed load generation from 9+ global regions
- Automated testing with fearures like test scheduling
- Integrations with CI/CD pipelines
