Challenges

The need to acquire load testing software stems from the decision by the IT Department at NIS to demonstrate to its clients the reliability, sturdiness and scalability of its applications, thereby providing proof of its IT services' quality.

Solution

NeoLoad was chosen because of its multitude of available options, its ease of use and the promptness and efficiency of its support team. These factors set NeoLoad apart from all its market competitors.

Adapting to the software was done very quickly. Designing tests, however complex, was straightforward, thanks to the very intuitive feel of the interface.

Test Results and Added Value

Using NeoLoad, we were able to verify that the applications could be deployed in their production phase without any doubts as to their capacity to perform under load. NeoLoad also allowed us to check, and even anticipate, problems regarding concurrent access in distributed web applications.
