Load and Performance Tests: Quick and Easy

Xceptance LoadTest (XLT) is a tool for creating and running regression and load tests, in particular for web applications. XLT combines the automation of regression tests with the execution of load tests, as the test cases already created for the automated regression test can subsequently be applied as load tests. In short: Every regression test can also be a load test.

Our experience in the area of load and performance tests as part of product development makes XLT a field-tested and innovative tool which can be used not only by testers but also by developers.

How does it work?

Test cases are created based on a sophisticated programming model. By using Java to develop tests, and through its comprehensive JUnit 4 support, XLT builds on the already existing knowledge within a company. This reduces the training time needed and allows testers and developers to quickly become comfortable with the program. In addition, web applications can be automated with the help of the XLT recorder.

Since it is platform-independent, XLT takes advantage of the existing IT infrastructure for testing, thus reducing administrative work and licensing costs. For distributed load tests, XLT can be scaled across as many test machines as necessary, including machines at different sites.

Distributed load tests can also be done using the XLT cloud service. This puts a scalable IT infrastructure at the client’s disposal, making distributed load testing possible without tying up the company’s own hardware resources.
