Premium Load and Performace Testing with NeoLoad
We like to
have easy-to-maintain test cases. That’s why we shifted load and performance
tests from JMeter to Neoload. Currently, we are testing web applications automated. SAP is in the queue.
But there are several learnings: In preparing the tests, we need
a storybook or a TOSCA automated end-to-end test case to minimize the effort
during scripting. This also contains login information and test data. No try
and error during scripting!
The execution phase is an online meeting that acts as a war room where all
necessary stakeholders are invited. They are responsible for monitoring the
systems and collecting traces. In the analysis phase, all collected
information is consolidated into a report. The results are discussed in the result meeting. Here we decide on measures and next steps. We learned that load
testing is a team sport.
- Recording of test cases
- Reporting the results
- Maintaining the scripts
- Usability of the GUI

Easy to use, stable tool for Performance Testing
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.
- User friendly GUI
- Strong support for correlations
- Minimal coding requirements
- Stable, does not crash even under heavy load
- 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

Thumbs Up!
We have found Neoload a very interesting tool work with. It is being used by the whole organization. It provides automated script creation & the integration opportunities with several other products is a real good one. Its ease of setup & uses as well. Further; non-tech person can also easily use this tool without facing any sort of trouble.
- Neoload's tool provide an interface to reuse the existing recording which is such a big relief to users.
- It is also the ability to automate technologies such as SAP, Cicatrix & web sockets.
- Apart from the update of recorded response after replay; log is one of the greatest feature. It helps in partial script creation & modification.
- It takes longer than expect to connect with Load Generator machine, caused in failure of test launch.
- It should support others languages apart from java-script.
- Code based automation is missing, which leads little frustration.
We use it for performance testing in staging environments for SAP systems. It helps preventing users from adopting the latest features that are deployed on our systems, and is part of our standard DevOps cycle. It's great to throw hundreds of simulated load on our systems and make sure they're still capable of running smoothly.
- Niche experts on performance testing
- Works across a wide range of technologies, including mobile
- Easy script manipulation through xpath and JS
- Limited capabilities on virtual environments
- No autosave feature
- Weak code editor for scripting

NeoLoad can handle the load
Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
I've used it for load balance testing for user scenarios and api limit and stress testing.
- You can build automated testing flows
- You can hit apis with specific data requests
- You can manage variables and data sets for your tests
- NeoLoad is highly customizable. If anything having a faster way to load general testing templates or choose them from pre-made libraries might be helpful.

With NeoLoad you can improve transaction thruput volume, and accurately predict points of failure due to volume
Developers use NeoLoad to identify points of failure or potential bottlenecks when placing their transactions under heavy load. Developers using NeoLoad were able to identify bottlenecks and fix/change the code, SQL, increase CPU/Memory, File Handles, Cluster VM's etc, that would not have been apparent under normal testing conditions BEFORE experiencing problems in Production. Also with Production code, we identified the true cause of unknown production slowness.
- Ability to segment a 'Type' of users in a mix of users.
- Ability to throttle transaction volume at increasing rates while identifying crucial throughput/failure points.
- Ability to test changes like switching to a different Database with precise throughput transaction metrics.
- Building Test Plans takes time. When the input fields of page changes it breaks the previous plan. The tool would be better if it had a way to migrate an existing plan and adapt to small changes.
- Documentation is fair, but would be improved with more detailed screenshot by screenshot configuration changes rather than summation using words.

NeoLoad is easy to use without strict limitations in scalabilty or interaction with other tools
As performance test engineers we support our own software engineering and customers with performance testing.
In both cases, the stakeholders want to make sure that the software has a good performance. The performance is an important argument for customers to like or dislike an application. So more and more requirement engineers define performance requirements in an early stage of the project. Based on those requirements and formerly metrics we can provide reliable and reproducible performance results for the current version in various test environments. These results are used by software engineers and system administrators to optimize software and configuration.
The result of the next test run can demonstrate the effect of changes and this is also an important feedback to the team. So NeoLoad helps to improve the performance of web applications and also web services.

The result of the next test run can demonstrate the effect of changes and this is also an important feedback to the team. So NeoLoad helps to improve the performance of web applications and also web services.
- NeoLoad supports performance test engineers with a strong feature set to analyse the results. The first metric you have in mind is response time of the application. The metric satisfies the stakeholder if it meets the requirements. Otherwise, the stakeholder wants to know some comments and suggestions for improvement. I rely on the data gathered by monitoring agents when I analyse test results. The monitoring agent is a service which collects different counters from an operating system, databases, web server, etc. The results can be analysed in individual composed graphs. This is a powerful feature to deliver conclusive reports to stakeholders. Even the export of reports in various formats is helpful for communication with different stakeholders.
- Our customers like the flexible license model of NeoLoad. A usual performance test project starts with the development of tests and configuration of the test environment. Finally, there is a first test execution followed by a couple of additional test executions. Usually, it is hard to say how long it takes to implement the issues based on the test results. So we usually do not know how long is the period between first and last test execution. It does not matter how long the period might be. In most of our projects we prefer daily licenses of NeoLoad. If you buy e.g. a four-day license you can use NeoLoad at four different days.
- As a performance test engineer, I like the impressive APIs of NeoLoad. NeoLoad is just a performance test tool and the vendor Neotys is focused on this job. Whenever you would like to add something into a test scenario which is not mainly a performance issue you can integrate these parts by APIs which are easy to handle and very powerful. They also support you in case technologies which are not supported yet by NeoLoad. Maybe there is a new device which you want to monitor. Therefore you can report the measurements of the specific counters by the data exchange API during test execution. So you can analyse the data in the usual way. In our company we developed already a couple of features based on the APIs of NeoLoad and we are very happy with this flexibility.
- NeoLoad allows the user many switches and options. Sometimes it is hard to understand dependencies. But the documentation and the support helps you.
- In most projects it is necessary to develop small scripts. NeoLoad only supports JavaScript and the editor is weak. There is syntax highlighting but sometimes you can not see where the cursor is located exactly. NeoLoad supports a workaround if you register .js-files in Windows to a different editor.

NeoLoad - An Emerging Load testing tool
NeoLoad is used for the Genworth account for which Tata Consultancy Service has a contract for quality assurance. It is a user friendly tool and we did not encounter any problems. NeoLoad is now widely spread across various accounts in our company. The recent version of NeoLoad has all the properties which are needed to test an application.
- NeoLoad does not require much of scripting efforts, and correlation and parameterization are quite easy.
- It has some actions which are very useful like variable modifier and java scripts.
- The data collection for monitors is easy and less time consuming.
- The memory consumption is higher which slows down the system.
- The concept of team server can be improved in such a way that every time we design a project, it doesn't need to be shared as it takes longer.
- Results need to be published every time. It needs to be auto saved.
- Sometimes the monitors become invisible after we check out the project in local.

NeoLoad, a lower-cost alternative to LoadRunner
NeoLoad is being used by the Performance Engineering Team to execute performance testing on new releases of applications before they are moved into production. The purpose of the testing is to reduce the risk of performance issues under load in the production environment. My Performance Engineering Team tests all applications in the division.
- Building performance testing scripts is easy. NeoLoad builds the scripts for you by recording your session as you navigate through the application under test.
- NeoLoad works with mobile applications using the same recording technique.
- NeoLoad has modules that permit gathering OS metrics from the target host and correlating the data with the load testing results. The modules are agentless, meaning that there no need to deploy NeoLoad code modules on the host to gather these metrics.
- There is no support for VT3270 terminal emulation to support mainframe-hosted applications.
- The ramp-up and ramp-down time data are not automatically excluded from the average response time calculations. Instead, you must exclude these times manually each time you run a test.
- There is not a summary graphic that shows the distribution of all of the response times on a single graph. We currently export the data as a coma separated variable (CSV) file and import into Excel to generate this summary graph.

Why I still love NeoLoad and why it is still the first choice
NeoLoad has been a great tool in our testing environment. The main purpose of using it was for web load testing. The easier maintenance and implementation of different features were satisfactory. My team and I loved it.
- Very user friendly and easy to use.
- Correlation cannot be simpler than the way NeoLoad does. You can even use XPATH.
- Handling virual user in runtime such as kick out some and add them back in runtime or simply keep adding them to test the stress level of server is awesome.
- The ability to manipulate the script by inserting JavaScript is also tremendous. It's one of the features few other tools have.
- I am very much satisfied with this tool.
