Description

Rapidly establish development and testing environments while effectively reducing waste through the implementation of quotas and policies. Implement automated shutdowns to keep costs low and create environments for both Windows and Linux systems. Offer self-service cloud solutions that eliminate concerns about management, as lab policies and thresholds seamlessly contribute to cost reduction. Set up your virtual machine equipped with essential development tools and the latest build in just a few clicks, enabling your team to share reusable templates effortlessly. Directly generate environments from your continuous integration (CI) tools by utilizing our plug-ins, REST API, or the Visual Studio Team Services extension. Configure lab policies to automatically manage the start-up and shutdown of virtual machines, ensuring operational efficiency. Establish limits for your lab, such as the maximum number of virtual machines allowed per user and per lab, to maintain control. Analyze lab cost trends to forecast your expenditures and define a spending threshold for better budget management. Employ our REST API to provision development and testing environments directly from continuous integration (CI) tools, allowing for an integrated workflow. In addition, you can swiftly deploy from your release pipeline using our Team Services tasks extension, ensuring a streamlined and efficient process. This comprehensive approach not only enhances productivity but also fosters collaboration across your development teams.

Description

Most web performance issues don't show up at one user... they show up at hundreds or thousands of users. Loadster is a cloud platform for simulating that kind of traffic and then seeing how your web application responds to it. Loadster has Browser Bots and Playwright for real browser testing, or Protocol Bots for lightweight HTTP protocol testing. Load test scenarios mix bot types, ramp populations up over time, and run load tests with hundreds or thousands of concurrent bots from cloud regions of your choice. The built-in reporting covers response time distributions, error rates, page-rendering metrics, and detailed traces about individual user journeys. Loadster also has built-in 24/7 site and API monitoring. Loadster monitoring reuses the exact same scripts as synthetic checks running 24/7 from selected regions, with alerting through Slack, PagerDuty, SMS, or voice robocall whenever something goes wrong. Maintenance windows mute monitors during planned work so on-call pagers don't fire for non-events. The free tier is 50 units of Loadster Fuel with no credit card required (enough to run a few load tests or maybe several weeks/months of monitoring). Usage scales from one-off load tests up to continuous testing and monitoring plans.
