The document discusses key factors to consider when choosing a performance testing tool, including protocol support for the application, licensing models, scripting effort required, whether a complete solution or just load testing tool is needed, and whether testing will be done in-house or outsourced. It also provides questions about why protocol support is most important and whether a complete solution or just load testing tool is preferable.

1. Choosing a
performance
testing tool

2. Choosing a performance testing tool
Many performance testing projects run into problems during the
scripting stage due to insufficient technical of the tool being used.
Most testing service providers keep a toolbox of solutions from a
range of vendors, which allow them to choose the most appropiate
performance testing tool for a particular performance testing
requirement.

3. Protocol support
¿Supports your application tech stack?

4. Licensing model
1. The largest load test you can execute in terms of
virtual users.
2. Additional protocols that the tool can support.
3. Additional plugins for integration and specific
tech stack monitoring.

5. Scripting effort
Consider the effort of your scripts, and make
changes if required.

6. Solution VS. Load testing tool
¿Complete solution or basic solution?

7. In-house VS. Outsourced
¿I check it or review it another?

8. The alternatives
¿What other things can I do?

9. Questions
1. ¿Por qué analizar el soporte del protocolo, es el
punto más importante de un test de
rendimiento?
2. ¿Es mejor una solución completa, o solo la
herramienta de prueba de carga?
