Overall Satisfaction with Tricentis NeoLoad
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
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.
- We have fully transitioned to Tricentis NeoLoad for our performance testing needs, and it has proven to be a highly reliable and effective solution.
With Tricentis NeoLoad, we've been able to standardize our testing approach across different teams and environments, ensuring consistent performance validation while reducing test maintenance overhead. The reusability of test assets and the ability to simulate realistic load patterns across geographies have made scaling much easier and more efficient.
Using Tricentis NeoLoad has noticeably accelerated both our test design and maintenance processes, especially within our Agile workflow. The intuitive design interface and support for reusable components allow our QA and dev teams to quickly build and modify test scenarios with minimal overhead.
