Tricentis NeoLoad - Solution for complex enterprise systems

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

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

Likelihood to Recommend

Tricentis NeoLoad is good for medium to large scale projects. It's not suitable for small projects because of cost. Also, Tricentis stop customers for upgrade without upgrade license which comes with cost. Vendor try to force existing customers to use SaaS, if want to stay as it is then you not get new features, upgrade, lack of support.

Enabling Agile Performance Testing at Scale with Tricentis NeoLoad

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

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.

Performance testing with Tricentis NeoLoad

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Use of Tricentis NeoLoad by our customers, regular validation of the performance of their applications.GUI testing, API testing and continuous testingI test each time a new version is released, reusing the paths already recorded.Tricentis NeoLoad meets the high-load requirements of one of our customers whose applications are used very heavily over short periods.Tricentis NeoLoad can be injected locally, but also externally via the cloud.

Pros

  • High load testing
  • Coninuous testing
  • Rapid updating of user paths

Cons

  • Test on gui client
  • Import from other tools
  • Export to other tools

Likelihood to Recommend

Tricentis NeoLoad is suitable for creating user paths on connected HMIs. Tricentis NeoLoad will automatically extract technical variables, and variable integration is easy to implement and update.It is suitable for API tests that can be launched via continuous integration chains.It is less easy to implement on input forms with complex queries that systematically return all the fields each time the page is changed.

Tricentis NeoLoad - Proactive Easy and Effective Load Test Tool

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Tricentis NeoLoad is used extensively to load test individual applications and end to end integrated load tests. Neoload helps unearth underlying bottlenecks of the applications when tested with large volume of users, before application is presented to real users. There are multiple use cases where neoload is being leveraged. One such use case is mimicking real user navigations (Web page clicks) on high revenue generating applications and replay them with large volume to validate infrastructure capacity and to assess overall performance and behavior of applications

Pros

  • With Tricentis NeoLoad, we have control on the test dynamically. One can alter user count/volume even when test is in progress. This makes it a very cool tool as you can avoid running multiple tests eventually saves a lot of time.
  • Tricentis NeoLoad user paths are very well structured. End points can be identified and tweaked easily especially when a large list of endpoints are part of the neoload project.
  • Tricentis NeoLoad results comparison is one of the cool options. We can compare previous tests against the current one to see the exact delta between transaction metrics. This helps in gauging the application behaviour with changes deployed

Cons

  • Real Browser protocol - It is still in the budding state. Needs powerful controllers/LGs and incorporate best practices to include this in load test suite. It has a great potential to grow.
  • Tricentis NeoLoad dynamic infrastructure - Needs some improvement. One should be able to choose between regions/zones and no. of LG machines allocation can be handled automatically based on the script size/users
  • AI can be leveraged into Tricentis NeoLoad. For example, a model that can read existing APIs/user paths from publically available applications and can reproduce typical user behaviour without us having to write scripts.

Likelihood to Recommend

Tricentis NeoLoad is best suited to run load tests on all major kinds of applications specially if you are an ecommerce application. I'd highly recommend using Neoload if you are specifically targeting to test Production environment. It is because it gives you dynamic control on the users during the test. One can add extra users or take out some users depending on targeted transactions per second goal.

Tricentis NeoLoad saves the day

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Tricentis NeoLoad for backoffice frontend and API performance testing. We have replaced jmeter and an older solution from Oracle, which was no longer supported. We use it more than one year without any issue. The scope is to decide if the release can go live or not based on the performance test results.

Pros

  • Reporting
  • Live tracking of performance data
  • Detecting performance bottlenecks

Cons

  • Maybe already recorded responses could be replaced with a newer one could be handy sometimes.

Likelihood to Recommend

For end-to-end web application performance tests and API perf tests the tool is perfect. I have no experience in mobile APP performance test with neoload, but would be great to learn about that one too.

Great tool for performance testing

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We employ Tricentis NeoLoad to stress test our product prototypes. By stimulating heavy user loads, we identify performance bottlenecks early in development

It helps us to optimise the product for speed and reliability before full scale launch. We also use it to handle peak user loads. It prevents the crashes as well

Pros

  • In depth performance analysis
  • Easy integration
  • Comprehensive reporting

Cons

  • Cost is high
  • Mobile performance testing can be more robust
  • Multiple integration makes it heavy

Likelihood to Recommend

We were able to successfully identify and address bottlenecks in complex algorithms, significantly improving processing speeds and overall system responsiveness. Another complementary team which works parallely to ours also used for their flagship e commerce platform. It helped to identify and fix performance bottlenecks and ensure a smoother experience for several customers/ clients
