NeoLoad features
Realistic and detailed simulation
NeoLoad allows you to carry out tests with exceptionally realistic conditions and to monitor the
behavior of your application and its infrastructure in real time.
- Live Debug:
View each virtual user in real time (requests/responses received) for easier finetuning
of advanced tests.
- Live Monitoring:
Follow your infrastructure's behavior and business transactions' response times
in real time. The alert thresholds enable you to detect any glitches.
- High Load Support:
NeoLoad's distributed architecture allows you to apply extremely high loads to
your server – up to several thousand virtual users at a time. The load generators are provided at
no extra charge.
- Network Emulator:
Simulate users accessing the server using different bandwidths and several IP addresses.
- Smart Population:
Allocate your users according to their business profile.
Intelligent monitoring
In order to pinpoint a performance glitch during a test, NeoLoad collects information from the server
infrastructure via its monitoring modules.
- Preconfigured Monitoring:
Each module ships pre-configured with the performance counters tailored
to your system.
- Threshold Alerts:
NeoLoad provides threshold values –derived from industry best practices- to raise the appropriate alerts.
- Agentless Monitoring:
The design of our monitoring modules, based on industry standards, ensures non-intrusive remote monitoring.
The available monitoring modules are:
- Operating Systems:
Microsoft Windows, Linux, Sun Solaris, IBM Aix, HP-UX and VMware. Where necessary,
a comprehensive RSTAT module is also available.
- Application Servers:
BEA WebLogic, Sun GlassFish, IBM WebSphere, JBoss, JOnAS, Adobe LiveCycle Data
Services, Microsoft .NET, Oracle Application Server, SAP NetWeaver, Tomcat.
- Databases:
Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, IBM DB2 and PostgreSQL.
- Web servers:
Microsoft IIS and Apache.
- SNMP devices:
Bridges, routers and other devices.
