- Web Load Testing Runtime

Web Load Testing Runtime

NeoLoad simulates extreme loads

• NeoLoad’s Web Load Testing Runtime uses a distributed architecture allowing you to create extreme loads on your server.
• Because various situations can affect web performance, Neoload simulates various extreme load scenarios like "ramp up" and "peaks".

• NeoLoad's Controller distributes the load between all available load generators.

NeoLoad manages cookies, authentications and redirections

• NeoLoad automatically manages HTTP features like cookies, basic authentication and redirects.

NeoLoad handles NTLM authentication automatically

• NeoLoad automatically manages NTLM (Windows NT LAN Manager) authentication.
• NTLM is detected while recording the scenario, and then used during runtime.
• NTLM variables can be used to log into the web application using different user profiles.

SSL support for recording and playback

• NeoLoad records SSL pages, and the load generators play them back during Web Load Testing Runtime.
• NeoLoad makes it possible to record in HTTP and play back in secure HTTPS mode, as well as the other way around.

Automatic URL rewriting detection

• During Web Load Testing Runtime, NeoLoad automatically detects and configures URL rewriting.
• Load generators handle user session tracking using URL rewriting or cookies.

Emulating user's thinking time

• Manage the delay between pages to simulate the time a real user would need to read or process the page.
• Thinking time delay can be assigned for each page or a global delay can be set for all pages.

IP spoofing

• Define multiple user IP addresses to test load balancing systems based on IP addresses.

Real time test monitors

• While a test is running, NeoLoad's web application stress HTTP monitoring displays key test statistics such as the average response time and error rate.

Performance monitors

• NeoLoad provides real time web stress test monitoring : define Windows, Linux, Solaris, SNMP, WebLogic, WebSphere and RSTAT monitors to retrieve system information during the web load test.

Proxy

• The recorder and load generators can be configured to send requests through a proxy.

Multiple scenarios

• Define multiple web performance testing scenarios using runtime parameters, regardless of your virtual user definitions
• With NeoLoad you can retrieve and replay any previous load test using stored conditions.

Command line

• Using the XML report generated by a test launched from the command line, NeoLoad can be integrated into your automated testing process.
