Smart tool for Load Testing
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- Some of the cons of LoadComplete are that it gets slow when the size of the test increases. Also, the coding is not possible with LoadComplete.
- Moreover, it needs to support flexibility for a framework that can be customized based on the needs. Also, some graphs remain empty which is confusing for me as a user and I would like a description of why a certain graph cannot gather data.
Most Important Features
- Efficient reporting.
- Data security.
- Automation is smart.
Return on Investment
- This tool always yields eye-catching results. It has good support from the documentation. Also, it generates detailed reports which is a very good thing.
- There is also a record and play feature in LoadComplete which means all applications can be recorded like Applications Servers’ Metric and so on.
- This tool has a good reporting and record playback due to which I will recommend it.

LoadComplete - Smart and fast tool for load tests development.
Pros
- Smart built-in data correlation. Automatically helps to correlate different dynamic parameters like user session ids, authorization tokens, db-identifiers and so on. Works very fast and save your time for test development.
- Record & Play feature - LoadComplete can record application servers' metrics like CPU and memory usage.
Cons
- Rather slow work with logging, especially on long tests. Test logs can occupy a big memory space.
- Coding is not presented in LoadComplete, we can use only predefined features, so we have some limitations in test development.
Return on Investment
- Many built-in features (like auto data correlation, load distributing etc) will save time for development.

LoadComplete: Great software but lacks proper support
Pros
- Able to generate detailed reports.
- Displays graphs during load testing to show the user (Performance Engineer) where a bottleneck occurred.
- Ability to run tests in the cloud.
- Port test scripts from TestComplete.
Cons
- Some graphs remain empty, I would like a description of why a certain graph cannot gather data.
- Allow user to customize the graph.
Return on Investment
- Negative: Licensing fees are too expensive.
- Positive: Able to generate and present reports, Able to show developers where bottleneck shows up.
- Positive: Easy to understand software to train new users.
