NeoLoad

NeoLoad enables performance load testing from APIs and microservices to end-to-end applications. It automates test design and maintenance while simulating realistic user behavior for up to millions of users. The platform supports tests from inside firewalls or the cloud, emulating network conditions like latency, packet loss, and bandwidth. It provides fast root cause analysis through machine learning-powered insights and integrates with SDLC toolchains. Differentiation comes from RealBrowser for browser-based testing alongside protocol-based methods, reducing resource use compared to legacy tools. Tests cover web, mobile, SAP, Citrix, and legacy systems with automatic SLA validation.

Core Strengths:

• Simulates real user traffic and load patterns.
• Supports performance‑as‑code test design (YAML).
• Converts functional tests (e.g., Selenium, Tosca) into performance tests.
• Provides automatic script updates for evolving applications.
• Offers real‑time results and analysis dashboards.
• Integrates with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tools.

How It Works:

• Define tests: Create load tests via codeless UI or performance‑as‑code.
• Simulate traffic: Run tests that mimic real end‑user behavior against apps, APIs, or mobile services.
• Monitor in real time: View live metrics and results during execution.
• Analyze results: Use dashboards and integrations (APM, Git) to pinpoint issues.
• Automate at scale: Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines to validate performance continuously.
