NeoLoad is a web stress tool that simulates any number of users accessing your web application at the same time. It pinpoints critical performance issues in your web site or web server to ensure the best quality user experience. NeoLoad conducts the web stress test through 3 key modules:
Design - to create a population of virtual users
Runtime - to create the test scenario and to launch the test
Results - to analyze test reports and statistics
Design
Record your test scenarios to create different virtual user business profiles.
Define populations containing different kind of users to generate a realistic load on your application.
Define monitors to monitor your servers’ behavior during the test.
Runtime
Define runtime preferences for your test scenario, and generate the load you need.
Launch and control the load test via the Runtime panel. Real time statistics are displayed during the web stress test.
Get runtime values of performance counters.
Monitor the virtual users’ behavior during the test.
Results
Browse the results summary to view the test’s main statistics.
Identify the key points that require surveillance.
Make sure that your application can handle the requested load while maintaining the required performance.
Plot the results graphs for each page or request and analyze their performance.
This panel allows you to filter the results to find, for example, the page with the longest average response time.
