WebLOAD
WebLOAD is load testing tool, performance testing, stress test web
applications. This web and mobile load testing and analysis tool is from
RadView Software. Load testing tool WebLOAD combines performance,
scalability, and integrity as a single process for the verification of web
and mobile applications
 Using its multi-protocol support, WebLOAD simulates traffic of
hundreds of thousands of users and provides analysis data on
how the application behaves under load.
 WebLOAD monitors and incorporates statistics from the various
components of the system under test: servers, application
server, database, network, load-balancer, firewall, etc.

Apache JMeter
Apache JMeter is an Apache project that can be used as a
load testing tool for analyzing and measuring the performance
of a variety of services, with a focus on web applications.
 JMeter supports variable parameterization, assertions
(response validation), per-thread cookies,
configuration variables and a variety of reports.
 JMeter architecture is based on plugins. Most of its "out
of the box" features are implemented with plugins.

HP LoadRunner
LoadRunner is a software testing tool from Micro Focus. It is used
to test applications, measuring system behaviour and
performance under load. LoadRunner can simulate thousands of
users concurrently using application software, recording and later
analyzing the performance of key components of the
application.
 LoadRunner simulates user activity by generating
messages between application components or by
simulating interactions with the user interface such as
keypresses or mouse movements.
 Load Generator generates the load against the
application by following scripts.

Load Complete
LoadComplete allows you to easily generate traffic using the cloud,
virtual machines, or even through on-premise computers.
 Create load tests within seconds using the record and
playback feature.
 Steadily ramp-up traffic and create custom load profiles for
different geographical locations.
 Generate different load testing scenarios without knowing
any scripting languages.

Rational Performance Tester
Rational Performance Tester is a tool for automated
performance testing of web- and server-based applications from
the Rational Software division of IBM.
 It allows users to create tests that mimic user transactions
between an application client and server.
 During test execution, these transactions are replicated
in parallel to simulate a large transaction load on the
server.

Load UI
LoadUI is a load testing software, targeted mainly at
web services. LoadUI runs on Windows, Linux and Mac
OS. LoadUI allows users to test the speed and
scalability of APIs, preview API performance behaviors
before releasing to production environments and shift
performance insights to the left-
 Functionality can be added at runtime using
plugins created by third-party developers.
 Features include integration with the functional
testing tool SoapUI and load distribution.

Loadster
Loadster is a cloud-hybrid load testing solution, with a
powerful desktop app to control everything.
 Generate load from 15 cloud regions or your
own self-hosted engines
 It's the best of both worlds and allows you to
test both public and private sites.
 With Loadster, you'll pay a set monthly price,
no matter how many tests you need to run.

WAPT
WAPT tool is a perfect combination of efficiency and
flexibility with ease of use. The product is backed by a team
of professionals with over 14 years of experience in load
testing.
 WAPT employs a simple test design approach by
recording real life web sessions from a browser or a
mobile application.
 It represents each recorded session as a sequence
of HTTP requests, which is easy to understand and
modify through a convenient user interface.

Testing Anywhere
The software allows testers and developers to test
applications, Web sites, objects, controls and GUI front-
ends
 Test cases are created using one of five methods
(web recording, object recording, image
recognition, Smart recording, editor).
 These test cases are recorded, saved, and can be
edited and enhanced.

Load Impact
Load Impact is a leading online load and
performance testing service that lets you test your
website, web-app, mobile app or API over the Internet.
 It’s a true on-demand service, where you can
start testing instantly and there are no licenses
fees or software to install.
 Making Load Impact the most popular load
testing service on the Internet.

Appvance
AI-driven test generation, which is revolutionizing how
software testing is performed. The company’s premier
product is Appvance IQ, the world’s first AI-driven,
unified test automation system.
 Appvance IQ lets testing teams easily create
and execute exponentially more tests than
they can with current automation.
 Dramatically fewer bugs slip into production
with Appvance IQ because its vast and
comprehensive test creation and execution
capabilities find most defects.

Open STA
OpenSTA is a feature-rich GUI-based web server
benchmarking utility that can perform scripted HTTP
and HTTPS heavy load tests with performance
measurements.
 It is freely available and distributable under the
open source GNU General Public License.
 OpenSTA currently only runs on Microsoft
Windows-based operating systems.
