Discover how affordable performance testing is possible with traffic replay by simplifying the process and streamlining workflows.

Load testing is a big category, and how do you even start preparing for it? This post covers it all from planning to implementation.

In today’s digital age, security has become a top priority for businesses of all sizes. With the increasing number of cyber-attacks and data breaches, ensuring that your website and applications are secure is essential. Usually, access to websites that are actively being developed or are intended for private/internal usage within an organization is restricted. A common way to do this is with custom SSL certificates. This ensures that the website won’t be publicly available.

Performance testing uses workflows in parallel to test a system’s infrastructure to ensure a product works successfully for many users at the same time.

Modern applications are built on a microservices architecture that leverages cloud-native technologies. This architecture has many benefits regarding scalability and fault-tolerance of individual components, but it also increases the complexity of the applications, mostly due to the interdependencies between services. This complexity makes it difficult for engineers to fully understand how their applications will react to abnormal conditions, such as a dependency failure or performance degradation.

Organizations use load and performance testing to prevent issues from impacting customers, which is essential if they want to stay relevant in today’s digital-first world. And with the rise of cloud native technology and DevOps, software teams must shift performance testing left, towards development. However, traditional load and performance testing tools simply haven’t kept pace, leaving developers, operations, and QA teams siloed.

Load testing, which is as a type of non-functional testing that puts a structure or system under pressure and measures its response, might sound boring. In reality the entire process of planning, estimating, and implementing load tests against the system is like putting together pieces of a complex puzzle, and it can be a lot of fun.

The short month of February was a time of intensive work in Loadero, and while some of the biggest updates are coming soon, we have some news about what has been added to Loadero recently. Below are the updates we’ve done.

When it comes to WebRTC testing, there aren’t many feature-rich tools on the market. Loadero is one of those, testRTC is another widely known option, so we get questions about how those two compare frequently. To give a detailed answer to that question, we published this blog post in which we attempted to make a comprehensive comparison of the two tools.
