Smart tool for Load Testing

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

LoadComplete is a load testing tool that is used for evaluating the load testing process. I have been using LoadComplete for a while now and it is the best for test automation. We also have been using LoadComplete for generating traffic in our overall applications. The most common task is to check how an application works after one or some components have been changed.

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think that LoadComplete is adequate when you have Testcomplete. If LoadComplete is not paired with Testcomplete then there would be a bit of a learning curve. People who are already using Testcomplete will find it easy to start with LoadComplete but the tool itself has a lot to improve and support customization to suit our needs.

LoadComplete for basic load testing

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

LoadComplete is used to evaluate the load testing process. We already had TestComplete for test automation so we started to use LoadComplete for load testing.

Pros

  • Easy and handy UI options to select
  • Good support from documentation
  • Eye-catching results

Cons

  • 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

Likelihood to Recommend

If we already use TestComplete for test automation and there is an urgent need to perform load testing, then it is easy to start with LoadComplete but the tool itself has to improve a lot and support customization to suit our needs. I would say if load testing is the main criteria to use this tool, then there are other open-source tools like JMeter that can support better than this. Of course, as it is an enterprise tool it has very good reporting and record and playback options that I see as an advantage for basic users.

LoadComplete: Great software but lacks proper support

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use loadcomplete in the QA and Tech Ops department. We use it to test the speed and load of several applications we develop in-house. We use LoadComplete to create reports and report any issues that we may notice during a certain load. As we develop new applications to update our old ones we will be using LoadComplete from day 1 to make sure our new application does not cause any performance issues to our server as well as have the best experience for our customers.

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Loadcomplete is well suited if you have testcomplete. The ability to port over automation tests to turn into Performance tests is one of the best features the company can offer. With the proper training anyone can use loadcomplete, especially if you write your own scripts.

If loadcomplete is not paired with testcomplete, there could be a bit of a learning curve. One feature I don't like about LoadComplete is the lack to write your own scripts. You must do the play back, record and update several variables if you are to have dynamic tests.

LoadComplete - Smart and fast tool for load tests development.

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use LoadComplete to generate traffic in our applications. The common task is to check how an application works after one or few components were changed - e.g. after migration to a new database or after a new module was connected to the system. Our QA Department does control of performance changes and provides a detailed report to our system analytics and developers.

As a little bonus, although LoadComplete is not a tool for API testing, it can run API calls, and sometimes it is rather helpful for us.

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Good solution for fast development of load tests, especially for staff without programming skills.
