Categories & Use Cases

Screenshot of Code-less design — loops, conditions, and other drag and drop controls simplify test design creation, and JavaScript can still be used for extremely advanced cases.
Screenshot of CI/CD integrations — collaborate across dev, QA, operations, and business teams to create a standardized performance testing approach throughout the enterprise.
Screenshot of Real-time test results — analyze test results live to react to an anomaly before the test is over. And leverage in-depth test reporting when the test is completed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Tricentis NeoLoad for our performance testing and engineering requirements. As a Product based company, we develop and maintain multiple products that are being used by millions of users worldwide. Therefore it is in our culture to give extreme importance to Application Performance. That being said, I work in a centralized team that is responsible for measuring, identifying, and tuning performance issues across all the products that go out of the Company, and also addressing issues faced by the customers. We need a solid tool for recording the real-world use cases, scripting them, and designing performance scenarios that are as close to how it happens in production and Tricentis NeoLoad addresses our needs on a daily basis. Though Tricentis NeoLoad can also be used for other purposes such as functional and security testing, we use it extensively only for various types of performance testing.

Pros

  • Easy to learn
  • No/Low code scripting
  • Support for wide protocols
  • Support for automated performance testing

Cons

  • Integration with third-party tools. I cannot stream NL test data to a third-party DB and then plot graphs out of it.
  • Keyboard shortcuts. It is tedious to use the mouse to click everywhere. I'd love to have some keyboard shortcuts
  • Reports and Analytics. Lacks intelligence in identifying patterns of problems

Return on Investment

  • Time! Less coding work resulted in faster scripting
  • Stability compared to our previous tool
  • It does not demand any advanced skill, as there is almost no coding involved.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Earlier we use LoadNinja of smaerbear, VSTS load test solution etc. but have to spend so much time to build tool itself. Not easy to operate, manage and maintain. After get Tricentis NeoLoad in place; everyone's life easy. We spend quality time for performance tests rather than maintaining & managing tool. It's easy to use, quickly design the test, support good range of protocols. Tricentis NeoLoad have wide range of integrations and collaboration features. It has nice test as a code option and also support AI.

Pros

  • Test as Code Option
  • Integration with CI/CD and APM tools
  • Easy to use and maintain
  • Quickly design test and make changes
  • Scalable

Cons

  • AI feature for script development and improvement
  • Improve reporting feature with more customization
  • Lack of technical support
  • Stability issue - sometimes NeoLoad completely freeze

Return on Investment

  • Faster turnaround for bug validation
  • Should support other programming languages
  • Should easy to integrate with AWS, Azure pipelines
  • Smaller community limits on share ideas/issues/fixes

Alternatives Considered

Apache JMeter, LoadNinja, OpenText LoadRunner Professional and Azure Load Testing

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Tricentis NeoLoad in our organization primarily for performance testing of web, desktop based such as SAP and API-based applications. It's become an essential part of our CI/CD pipeline, helping us ensure scalability and reliability of applications before every major release.Identified performance bottlenecks early in the development cycle. Reduced manual effort and time spent in script maintenance

Pros

  • You can record a scenario once and reuse it across different test cases with minimal changes — thanks to dynamic parameterization and auto-correlation features.
  • Tricentis NeoLoad makes it easy to simulate real-world user behavior using its powerful GUI-based scripting interface.
  • We especially like the comparison feature to evaluate performance changes across builds or environments.

Cons

  • While Tricentis NeoLoad supports SAP GUI protocols, recording and maintaining test scripts for complex SAP transactions (like those in the OTC module) can be cumbersome.
  • For instance, we had challenges recording a VA01 (Sales Order Creation) transaction because of the dynamic nature of SAP screen fields and session handling. NeoLoad sometimes struggles to properly correlate or handle SAP’s SAPGUI Dynpro fields automatically.

Return on Investment

  • We have fully transitioned to Tricentis NeoLoad for our performance testing needs, and it has proven to be a highly reliable and effective solution.
