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.
Description
The ReadyAPI platform enhances the speed of functional, security, and load testing for various web services such as RESTful, SOAP, and GraphQL, seamlessly integrating into your CI/CD pipeline. This powerful tool enables teams to efficiently create, oversee, and execute automated tests for functionality, security, and performance all from a single, user-friendly interface, thereby improving API quality for both Agile and DevOps teams. Users can easily initiate their testing processes by importing API specifications such as OAS (Swagger) or WSDLs, monitoring and recording live API interactions, or virtualizing web services to eliminate dependencies within their pipelines. Additionally, it allows for the creation of extensive, data-driven functional API tests without the burdensome upkeep of scripts. You can also design load, stress, and spike tests to ensure that your API can withstand the demands of real-world traffic scenarios. Furthermore, the platform helps safeguard your APIs from various vulnerabilities, including XSS, malformed XML, and SQL injection attacks with each deployment. By virtualizing different web services like RESTful, SOAP, TCP, and JMS, teams can streamline their testing processes and significantly reduce dependencies in their pipeline. This comprehensive approach not only enhances testing efficiency but also fosters a more robust development environment.
