Load Complete is a powerful tool for creating and running automated load tests for web servers, web applications and web services. It offers a variety of sophisticated features that help you perform load, stress and scalability testing. Load complete enables you to:
With Load Complete you can create real life scenarios that simulate large numbers of users across your web site or web application. This allows you to measure your application's performance as it would perform in a live environment.
Creating load tests
Creating load tests with Load Complete is easy and fast:
Record typical user scenarios by capturing http traffic with Load Complete
Edit or modify the recorded requests with Load Completes simple to use GUI to build scenarios
Build load tests based on recorded scenarios, with numbers of virtual users and specified load profiles
Run the load test and monitor live results on client and server side (e.g. basic quality parameters, response time metrics, throughput, server side performance)
Review reports and charts covering test run information including response time metrics, throughput, etc.
Features
To achieve this Load Complete gives you the following capabilities:
Simulate Large Workloads
Create massive loads simulating 1000's of users across multiple clients. Control all of these clients from a central Load Complete server and collate results from load test runs in to multiple reports and dashboards
Define User Parameters
Parameterize aspects of your load test scenarios with data variables. All of this is done via wizards and GUI's that make it easy for non technical users to setup multiple different scenarios for a load test run. You can even use data sources like CSV, Excel and text files to create large scale parameterized tests.
Create Profiled Workloads
Create different load profiles that simulate real life user peaks and troughs. This gives you the capability to ramp up load tests as required or scale them back when needed. Defining the a workload shape graphically makes this as easy as dragging a mouse to create the load profiles you need.
Replay Scenarios
Create virtual user groups that simulate different actions and load patterns. Develop various different types of visitors that can be combined to create complex load testing scenarios covering various different aspects of your application.Licensing
Load complete is available in floating or node locked licenses. License types are also available on a subscription basis or a perpetual basis. With designer and controller editions available too we can cover most setup requirements to allow you test team to implement your load testing requirements.
Designer Edition
Gives you up to 10 virtual users and can be used to create and develop load tests. Only available as a floating user licenses type.
Controller Edition
Gives you the ability to fully load test your applications with thousands of users. Whilst it provides designer capabilities for one users you can also be used to run tests developed using the designer edition. Available as both floating and node locked license types.
