Product Overview

RealLoad: Unique Key Features

What is RealLoad?

RealLoad is an Enterprise Tool to perform next generation Load Testing, Regression Testing, and Synthetic Monitoring.

The product architecture is designed for high-performance load testing, with these capabilities also available for synthetic monitoring and regression testing.

The user interface is optimized for maximum comfort, so that most - even complex - functionalities can be carried out with just a few mouse clicks and powerful forms.

Doe to RealLoad’s powerful features you can save a lot of time and money when creating, executing and evaluating professional tests. Including a shorter training period compared to other products.

If you want to program a RealLoad test manually, this also supported and fully documented in the Developer’s Guide.

RealLoad is ready to use out of the box - you can use it immediately and try it for free by Sign Up at the RealLoad Portal.

Why should you rely on RealLoad?

If you compare the effort required to carry out professional testing of open source solutions with RealLoad, the use of open source solutions becomes significantly more expensive. Because open source solutions are more complex to install and use - and often only include partial fragments that are necessary to carry out professional tests. Although there are no licensing costs for open source solutions, the workload can explode - and ultimately become very expensive.

With RealLoad you are on the safe side:

Professional tests can be carried out in a short time and with little effort - without exploding development costs.
The RealLoad product covers all aspects of conducting load testing, regression testing and synthetic monitoring, including presenting data.
You will receive full support from us at all times.
We have years of experience in this area. You can contact us at any time if you have any questions.
We also offer on-site training.

Due to the universal product architecture, a Test of any Type supported by RealLoad can be executed as:

Load Test
Regression Test
Synthetic Monitoring Job

The following Types of Tests are supported:

‘HTTP Test Wizard’ Tests - Web Surfing Sessions and HTTP API Tests.
JUnit Tests - Testing any type of Network Protocol (such as DNS, SMTP or UDP).
Selenium IDE and Playwright Tests - Execution of Real Web Browser Tests.

The product is highly scalable and can be used to run tests from one simulated user up to an almost unlimited strength of millions of concurrent users ¹ - and this for Load Tests, Regression Tests, and for Synthetic Monitoring Jobs.

¹ = does not apply to Selenium IDE and Playwright Tests (max. 5..50 users per load generator due to the high CPU usage of such tests)

Regardless of what type of test you are running, all measured data are displayed directly in real time in form of statistics and charts.

All work steps can be carried out within the web interface of the RealLoad Portal which:

contains simple and powerful dialogs.
contains numerous wizards, so no programming is required in most cases.
does not require to configure any JSON and XML files.

In addition, using RealLoad offers many other advantages, for example:

Web surfing sessions can be recorded with a ready-for-use cloud-based HTTP/S Proxy Recorder and post-edited with a powerful wizard.
JUnit tests can measure Additional Statistics and Charts, declared on the fly.
Selenium IDE tests can be converted into RealLoad tests using a wizard.
A powerful graphical Test Suite Editor supports the compilation of Regression Tests.
The Synthetic Monitoring Dashboard gives you a complete overview of the last 24 hours by displaying real-time sparklines (micro charts) per each monitoring job.
Multiple Measuring Agents (load generators) can be combined into a cluster, with the test results of the cluster members are combined into a single test result - displayed in real time - for all types of tests.

Why to perform Synthetic Monitoring Jobs and Regression Tests with hundreds of Virtual Users?

Many larger companies that provide web services that have hundreds or thousands of users logged in at the same time have started combining synthetic monitoring and regression testing with load testing.

For example, if an average of 2000 real users are logged in at the same time, it doesn’t matter if a monitoring job with 100 virtual users is running concurrently in parallel.

However, the data measured in this way are much more meaningful than a test that only runs with a single user, as rarely occurring errors can be identified better and faster. In addition, percentile statistics are also available for each individual test run. This allows performance outliers to be better identified and evaluated.

Another reason to run monitoring jobs with many virtual users is when several servers are combined behind a load balancer. If one of these servers becomes unstable or slow, a monitoring job that only runs with one user will often not detect this - or detect it much too late.

RealLoad enables you to run monitoring jobs and regression tests with hundreds or thousands of virtual users.
