What is WebLOAD?
WebLOAD is a comprehensive load and performance testing tool for web applications. It is designed to test web application scalability, stability and performance under various user loads and conditions.
Some key features of WebLOAD include:
- Simulating hundreds to hundreds of thousands of concurrent virtual users to generate real-world load on web apps
- In-depth analysis of performance metrics like response times, throughput, errors, etc.
- Script recording and playback for easy test scenario creation
- Advanced script editing for complex and dynamic simulations
- Distributed load generation from multiple geographic locations
- Monitoring resource utilization of application under test
- Integration with CI/CD workflows
- Comparative analysis from multiple test runs
WebLOAD helps identify performance bottlenecks, database issues, memory leaks, concurrency problems and determines if web applications can handle projected user loads. It is used for web testing by IT teams across various industries like finance, retail, healthcare and more.
