To create a better user experience for our customers and end-users we perform the necessary Load Tests. This testing is often very expensive and time consuming. Our goal is to make this process quicker and more consistent while minimizing costs for all of our customers.
You know that the load testing of power supply and power grid play a decisive role for consumer goods and engineering equipments, and it’s critical for the stability and performance of the whole production line.
Locust
It is a user load, simple-to-use, and distributed testing tool that assists you to capture response times. It is utilized to assist apps and performance testing websites. This tool also helps you to figure out the number of present users that can be handled by the system. The main features include:

· HTTP
· HTTP
Gatling
It is a stress tool developed on Netty, Akka, and Scala. This latest architecture approach permits you to measure and test your app’s end-to-end performance. It plays an imperative role in easily scaling up virtual users.
· Permits you to adopt a shift-left code method for performance testing
· Has a scenario recorder
· If you are using scala and the benefits it provides, this is the most suitable load testing tool for you
· Simple to extend
· Simple and powerful DSL
WAPT – Employs a universal performance test design approach by recording real-life web sessions from a browser or a mobile application
WAPT lets users design or run tests locally or in the cloud. Users are enabled to create tests using a browser or a mobile application; employ remote, distributed and cloud-based testing; launch server and database performance monitoring; and more.
Some of the most exemplary elements of the software are the usefulness of auto-parameterization of most dynamic values, the extensibility via Javascript, and point-and-click recording capabilities.
The WAPT interface, as seen from the associated screenshot, comes across quite dated in the color, look, feel, and even text orientation. For those used to modern tech UI, it may be a bit of an eyesore; thus, they lost a few points per the UX review criteria.
WAPT starts at $700 and has a free trial.
WebLOAD – Test with powerful recording and scripting, correlation, drag-and-drop building blocks, parameterization, and response validation
WebLOAD generates a test script in JavaScript, with the flexibility to add a wide range of protocols and easily extend to additional protocols as needed. The recording is transparent and automatic with any web technology, including HTTP/HTTPS (SSL, TLS) and more.
This tool does particularly well with building any simulated load for load and performance testing in an intuitive and easy way. Additionally, the play and record features are useful for tracking results.
As the only tool with no pricing information available, WebLOAD lost some points in cost transparency, meaning their review results for Value for Cost dropped a bit.
WebLOAD offers pricing upon request and has a free trial.
BlazeMeter – A shift-left testing platform for enterprises that need API, GUI functional & performance testing, mock services, and API monitoring
BlazeMeter allows for Selenium functional testing with no coding necessary. Simulate thousands or millions of virtual users from over 55 geo-locations, leveraging your favorite open source tools: Apache JMeter, Selenium, Gatling, Grinder, Locust and more.
This tool scores well in the Features – Reporting and Analytics segment of the evaluation criteria, as status report types and assertion types are very useful when creating test scripts. Reporting and graph features are very accurate, making them a key component of the software.
A downside of this tool is that Blazemeter does not integrate well or easily with Jmeter if you started with or intend to incorporate that tool at all.
BlazeMeter starts at $99/month and has a freemium version of the software.
StresStimulus
StresStimulus is popular with performance testing services because it is capable of handling scenarios that may be difficult to test using other tools. It works by automatically fixing playback errors using its unique autocorrelation feature. The tool records user actions before replaying them to emulate changing usage patterns. It also keeps track of load impact on the responsiveness of the software and the server infrastructure. It can also detect hidden concurrency errors and provides in-depth performance metrics.
The key features of this performance testing tool are as follows:
- Cloud or on-premise testing using multiple load generators
- End-to-end Test Wizard reduces the learning curve by covering all steps
- Option of manual scripting is available, but not required. The tool supports upto 3 scripting languages.
- Allows script export to Visual Studio test format
- Can be used as a Fiddler add-on or an independent tool
Apache JMeter
JMeter is a popular open source performance testing tool that is designed for load and performance testing. It can be used to analyze and measure the performance of a wide range of software, covering services including networks and servers. It is mostly used as a website load testing tool for different types of web service applications.
JMeter is a Java platform application that can be integrated with the test plan. It also allows you to create a function test plan besides a load test plan. Some of the key features are as follows:
- Supports multiple load injectors that can be managed using a single controller
- Doesn’t require advanced infrastructure for load testing
- Requires lesser scripting efforts relative to other API performance testing tools, as it has a user-friendly interface
- Supports all Java-based applications
- Easy analysis of key load based stats and resource usage monitors by presenting simple graphs and charts
JMeter supports the following protocols – HTTPS, HTTP, XML, Java-based protocols, SOAP, and FTP among others.
Conclusion
Load testing tools provide a means to verify that a specified leveling system will not cause an unacceptable deflection in a completed concrete structure. Because the only way to thoroughly perform load testing of a structure is to physically apply the dead and imposed loads over the entire area of concern, these test methods are time consuming and costly to conduct. To develop performance standards for flexible medical floors using multicomponent polymer-modified floor systems, needed standards for materials used in construction, and recommended standards for component preparation and connection stipulations.
