Our primary use case for the solution is for graph testing on programming software The information provided via the solution and the dashboard is valuable. Additionally, it's interesting as you can view inside information integrated and see the WebLOAD with APM. There is no analytical dashboard…

You pay for the number of users that you're going to be utilizing. In order to scale up, you would have to pay for additional users, but for our use case, we're able to scale fairly easily. We have a license for 500, but we're using half of that for our initial workflow. For maintenance, as far as I'm aware, there's only one person really working on the maintenance of it and we only really have one user consistently using the software. He's a QA person. We don't have any plans to increase our usage. Even though we've had it for a while, we have a major push to start utilizing it more. I imagine we'll probably be using it and utilizing it across our QA team in the next year. We're in the process of determining whether we're going to keep it or not due to the fact that it is so expensive. That's why I've been researching alternatives for the RadView.

Technical support is responsive. To take it a step further, I've participated in several betas, including the first new-look redesign, so I got to see the product before it was actually introduced to the customers. They actually went back and made design changes based on my feedback. Back in 2003, they used to do recording at the protocol layer. Then they switched to the more interactive interface; both functional and load scripts, and decided to go back to the protocol layer recording. They added mobile, and they added a more robust correlation engine, so I got a chance to look at that, as well. I made some suggestions to the new-look redesign as we went through beta, and they incorporated some of my feedback. Specifically, I suggested a change to the statistical-cause analysis component, and I thought they were very responsive.

RadView WebLOAD Features

RadView WebLOAD has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

IDE: IDE full form is an integrated development environment that helps users edit and debug load scripts.

Load generation: RadView WebLOAD’s load generation feature generates load from on-premise and the cloud.

Correlation: RadView WebLOAD offers automatic connection of the dynamic values such as session IDs and allows a script to be executed dynamically with many virtual clients.

Analytics: With the solution’s analytics, you gain access to a set of predefined analysis reports that provides performance data.

Performance Measurements Manager (PMM): The integrated PMM collects server-side information throughout test runs.

Web dashboard: With RadView WebLOAD’s web dashboard, test results can be executed from any web browser.

Code-free parameterization: RadView WebLOAD turns recorded values into dynamic parameters, including date, time, input files, random strings, and more. These values are automatically populated at runtime to create richer testing scenarios.

Intelligent validation logic: You can define validation criteria, like expected page title, size, and content, in order to validate business transactions. You can also write custom code in JavaScript that can later be reused across your test library.

RadView WebLOAD Benefits

There are many benefits to implementing RadView WebLOAD. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

Easy to get started: RadView WebLOAD’s test development environment combines the ease of recording with the power of JavaScript. To get started, users simply need to navigate through the application using a web browser or a mobile device. WebLOAD captures your actions and automatically translates them into a test script.

Realistic load scenarios: RadView WebLOAD gives you the ability to simulate realistic and varied load conditions for an unlimited number of users. By using the load scenarios, you can define a variety of scripts, browsers, network characteristics, and schedules in a single test run. Virtual users have a very small footprint to optimize hardware usage.

Actionable intelligence: RadView WebLOAD transforms client and server-side data collected during test execution into actionable intelligence. You can use the data to improve the performance of your application. In addition, RadView WebLOAD provides a comprehensive view of performance at the level of the system, transaction, component, and end user.

Mobile recording and playback: You can test your applications in mobile, multi-device environments and can also record directly from the mobile device or from a simulator. During test execution, you can mix different browser types and connection speeds to accurately simulate real conditions.
