Load Testing

Test your real-time communications application with Loadero

Loadero simplifies creation, running and hosting of end-to-end tests for real-time communications applications. These tests will exercise all flows involved in the application and provides a way to do performance assertions. Loadero can be used to test webRTC applications that require webcam and microphone inputs. Once the tests have finished running, webRTC statistics like jitter, latency and bandwidth are available for analysis. If certain thresholds for statistics are known, they can be enforced with post-run assertions.

Performance Testing on Every Commit

According to our latest State of API report, API performance is seen as a top-factor in the success of an API program. With teams shifting to CI/CD and DevOps delivery at a rapid pace, performance testing can still be a major bottleneck to most teams. Siloed performance engineering teams are unable to keep up with the rapid pace of modern software delivery - many organizations still run load tests outside of the pipeline and only when holiday season comes around.

What is First Meaningful Paint (FMP)?

Time to First Meaningful Paint (TTFMT) is a modern performance metric introduced by few engineers from Google, and is the time to paint the main content that users are interested in, so the thing the users came here for. Rendering some background color can be much easier and faster, but that’s definitely not what the users was looking for when they entered your website.

Performance Pitfalls to Avoid in 2019 Video

It’s no secret that your digital performance determines success in today’s day and age. It’s our responsibility as testers and ops engineers to ensure that when we deploy into production, we deploy confidently, knowing we’ve tested for all possible points of failure. Then when, inevitably, something goes wrong in production, we’re able to find and fix the issue with as low of an MTTR that we can reasonably achieve.
