Categories & Use Cases

A beginner's review on IBM Rational Performance Tester

Pros

  • Data Parameterisation/ Data Correlation is made simpler compared to its competitors
  • Distributed Load Testing is easier to set up
  • Performance metric gathering while a test is in progress
  • Th look and Feel really helps a beginner to understand and work with.

Cons

  • Memory utilization could have been improved.(Eats up system's RAM)! It may crash if a test is conducted with the heavy load if adequate RAM is not available in the VM/host machine.
  • Licensing could have been made simpler. IBM's licensing method is difficult to follow.
  • Support for protocols other than HTTP. Not really up to the current trend.

Return on Investment

  • Accuracy in metrics, thus improving system's performance
  • Costs less compared to competitor like HP LoadRunner
  • Helped the team of beginners learn things quickly
