Get started quickly with the Gatling Test guide:
Selenium WebDriver is a functional test automation library, you can use your Selenium scripts to create performance tests. You can also use Java and Javascript language to create Selenium-based performance tests.
Get started quickly with the Web Driver Test guide:
During test creation, you can manage the test settings to shape the test running course.
Load Configuration
Geolocation
Failure Criteria
Scheduling
APM
You can configure the virtual user amount, their ramp-up period, and test duration (some parameters may vary between the technologies)
You can choose to distribute your load generation to multiple locations with Cloud Service or use your personal servers with Private Locations.
You can see our guides for more detailed information.
An optional feature where you can choose certain KPI metrics and set thresholds for each request to track their performance
You can see our guide for more detailed information.
An optional feature where you can schedule your tests to automate their run.
An optional feature where you can integrate New Relic or AppDynamics APM Tools to get their metrics displayed on the Loadium Report.
You can see our guide for more detailed information.
When you finish creating a test, the information you have put; uploaded files, load configurations, geolocations, KPI, etc. will be saved and you can access it from the Home Page. You can run your created tests from the Home Page.
Test Report
Compare Test
Observing Progress
During a test run, the test metrics will be presented lively. After a test finishes, you can access these reports from the test's Sessions page.
You can check out the Test Report guide for a more comprehensive cover:
Loadium allows you to compare your tests to help you to analyze your tests better. A quick guide for it will be coming soon!
After several runs of your same created test, the overall progress of test results will be presented in the test's Sessions Page.
