Xceptance LoadTest - Screenshots

The following screenshots show various XLT modules.

Script Developer

XLT Script Developer is an easy and comfortable way to start writing web tests. It operates as a Firefox add-on and provides an easy-to-use user interface for developing and running test cases or entire test suites. XLT Script Developer records the page flow while the user navigates through a website. For enhanced scenarios or more complex validations, test cases can be exported to Java to edit them in an IDE.

Test Suite in the Eclipse IDE

Tests for and with XLT can be created using the integrated development environment Eclipse, just like normal JUnit4 tests. This means that all of Eclipse’s features are available, including the debugger, to thoroughly address any test problems that may occur. Of course, you can instead use Netbeans or any other IDE compatible with JUnit4 to develop tests.

Command Line View During Test Run

XLT load tests are started and monitored from the command line. This means that tests can be controlled from remote systems, without requiring any complicated infrastructure.

Result Browser

The XLT result browser supports test case development with a realistic and detailed display of web pages and the underlying server communication. Failures encountered during load tests can be easily and quickly evaluated and diagnosed. Complex error situations are no longer a challenge but instead easy to debug and therefore easy to solve.

Test Report, Overview Section

This screenshot shows a detail of an XLT test report. In the upper right corner you can see the opened navigation section that allows you to quickly navigate to any part of the report.

Test Report, Actions Section

Actions represent the single steps that are triggered by the simulated users. The tabs allow you to select alternative charts to visualize the result data. The navigation section is closed but permanently available.

Test Report, Requests Section

Each request represents a real interaction with the server. A user action might trigger multiple requests sent by the web browser, or, in this case, by the XLT framework.

Agent Monitoring Report

This report shows the resource usage of the load agents during the test run.

Comparison Report, Actions Section

With XLT, you can create comparison reports to get a quick overview of performance improvements (green) or performance degradation (red) between two test runs.

Performance Trend Reports

XLT lets you create trend reports which visualize the changes in test results over multiple test runs. Each column represents one test run.
