Akamai CloudTest vs. LoadComplete

We were designing an Airlines reservation system, where we wanted to check the maximum number if reservation our system can handle, this tool helped us to get the test results but the issue was from set up point of view, the initial set up took too much time. But we were able to achieve our Reservation system process.

If you are testing an application and you don't have experience in performance testing, this tool will help you to test the load with some documentation help. It's very easy to use. and if you have complex scenarios to determine the coding and adjusting graphs, the LoadComplete will not be a helpful tool for you.

• We have been using LoadComplete in the Tech Department. I usually use LoadComplete to test the speed and loads of several applications we develop in-house.
• Moreover, we have also used LoadComplete to create reports and at the same time report any issues that we notice during a certain load.
• It is an affordable platform.
• LoadComplete has a lot of good features which has made my life so much easier so there are many pros of this tool as well. It is quite easy to use and comes in very handy.

Incentivized

• Report generation is difficult
• Some graphs are not displaying accurate results
• More information are missing with respect to load testing

Incentivized

• Slow when the size of tests increase
• Coding is not possible
• Need to support flexibility for a framework that can be customized based on needs

Usability is really good because being an enterprise tool that might be an easy option to convince users to try this tool. It has a lot of easy-to-use, cool options.

Customer support is good. If any concerns are raised, they are usually resolved soon, but when questioned about a feature LoadComplete does not support, it usually takes more time to resolve.

The bundle of features that other tools provide is much higher when compared to the one provided by Akamai CloudTest, this is something they need to focus on Priority. Most tools comes with default setup and ends to end testing scenario that can be covered, such as Regression testing. From Akamai CloudTest this is a missing features that can be added up soon.

We chose loadcomplete because we already use SmartBear software for other automation solutions. Porting over test cases is easy and a user can have a test up and running within minutes. I do wish SmartBear would have better support and I haven't used any other testing tool in a while to make a comparison.

Incentivized

• System Hangs as where severe load testing is required
• Authentication is an issue when using OAUTH
• Scalability can be improved and also an on premise tool can be of great help

Incentivized

• Many built-in features (like auto data correlation, load distributing etc) will save time for development.
