Overall Satisfaction with Tricentis NeoLoad
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.
- Right sizing of capacity before any peak sales event
- Identification of bottlenecks in a stressed scenario
- Failover tests during high volume on application makes the system ready for any unforeseen issues that may occur on prod
One thing that is great about Neoload is it offers APIs for all the operations/features etc.. so one can build a wrapper and scale it to multiple teams leveraging without lot of worry on administration. One can use neoload APIs to build custom dashboards and can integrate into various other tools to extend its scale
Design is definitely improved than earlier. One can easily find out various elements that are essential to design a script right on the page. Everything is off the shelf which saves a lot of time for user. Since neoload integrates with GIT, it is easier to maintain versioning of the scripts on the internal GIT repo
Tricentis NeoLoad is easier to use, with simpler steps to follow to record/write test scripts and to design scenarios. It is scalable and comparatively provides overall benefits in a fair cost. Neoload also provides APIs for anyone to leverage and build on top of the existing features. This adds up as an advantage.
