Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our web project manager is using this product alongside with our developers and engineers. This is an imperative tool to have, as we rely heavily on load testing before the Cyber holidays and all the other code testing prior to our build releases. This product helps us run tests in record time and contributes to our business ROI by catching issues before they are deployed to production.

Pros

  • Load testing of increased traffic during peak hours
  • Reporting of script runs before new code releases
  • Identifies issues and problems with the code before this makes it into the live site

Cons

  • The load time of running a testing script can be long at times
  • It would be helpful to have multiple users/ devices to run under one membership

Most Important Features

  • Automatic load testing
  • Script testing reports
  • Discovering any performance issues

Return on Investment

  • Increased ROI by discovering any performance issues ahead of time, and allowing us to fix them before making it into production.
  • Improved efficiencies with DevOps.
  • Increased productivity through the automated reports feature.
