Description

IBM® Rational® Performance Tester empowers software testing teams to conduct tests earlier and more often within a DevOps framework. It assesses the scalability of web and server applications, uncovers the causes of performance bottlenecks, and streamlines the load testing process. By enabling rapid execution of performance tests, it allows teams to evaluate how application load affects performance. This tool ensures that testing efforts are centered on scalability validation rather than on navigating a complex testing interface. It seamlessly integrates optimal access to essential protocol data and remote system metrics while allowing for the inclusion of custom Java code. By leveraging open standards and fostering shared user experiences, it facilitates collaboration among project team members. Additionally, IBM Rational Performance Tester on Cloud supports extensive and globally distributed performance testing. It generates real-time performance and throughput reports, providing immediate insights into potential performance issues at any stage of the testing process. Consequently, teams can proactively address problems and enhance application performance.

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.
