What is VUH (Virtual User Hours)?

VUH( Virtual User Hour) is a customized pricing plan for Loadium customers that allows users to run performance and load tests more flexible.

It is designed for enterprise companies who run performance test (stress, load, endurance, smoke) with numerous concurrent user or different parameters for each test. Enterprise customers prefer VUH Plan running load test package independent.

1 VUH corresponds to 1 virtual user running test for 1 hour.

1.000 virtual users running test for 1 hour would result in 1.000 VUH usage

For tests that has less duration than 1 hour, Loadium calculates VUH consumption by ceiling duration with 15 minutes intervals (15 - 30 - 45 - 60 minutes), instead of ceiling to 1 hour, for better flexibility.

For example, a test with 1.000 virtual users running for 25 minutes (ceiled to 30 minutes) would result in 500 VUH usage (instead of 1.000 VUH).

Why Loadium has a second option in pricing?

VUH allows you to use Loadium extra flexibly. For instance, VUH package users will be able to configure parameters:

• Max concurrent users

• Engine count

• Test duration

Freely, without limits.

VUH plans are more adaptable than the fixed plans, since it allows you to customize the number of concurrent user and test duration. Additionally, VUH is the industry standard to price load testing products, so that you can easily compare.

You can run your performance and load testing without any execution limits. More tests, more threads more minutes…
