WebLOAD

What do you like best about the product?

Webload is easy to use, you can create simple tests with a built-in recorder or you can write sophisticated scripts inluding several techologies and frameworks like Java and Selenium on top of JavaScript which is the main language. It has various reporting features which can be customized by the user regarding to their needs through UI (temporary) or (permamently) through template files.
It has competetive price and good customer support. My team is using WebLoad on daliy basis. Recommended!

What do you dislike about the product?

If you want to have a various customizations like custom reports or sophisticated scripts, you need to be experienced user in software/programming, hence in some way it reminds me open source tools, but in some way it can be an advantage, since you can do your own customizations.
Lacks of capabilities to tes reactive (async) based UI, this is the biggest disadvantage. For that purpose we use Selenium + Java + Webload, but it is not very easy to maintain and write the scripts.

You can test your POC's and then propose to the corresponding teams to implement them in the product.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helped me find many bottlenecks in the application

What do you like best about the product?

It is quite a flexible tool which can be used for both load testing, and functional testing. The best part is the the Radview team which is great in uncovering all the features that the webload tool has to fit your needs.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing specific, we used it creating regular monitoring scripts which is not its main use case, so it took a bit of time to make it function properly, but the Radview team was very helpful in figuring out how to make it work for a use case that they have typically not used it for

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

When we initially went live with the website, we used webload for performance testing, but since then we have been using it as a monitoring tool to replicate user scenarios more like synthetic monitoring for which we created scripts that run every 30 minutes, and notify if there is a problem.

What do you like best about the product?

Webload has the capabilities of Microfocus LoadRunner, which many consider the gold standard of performance testing, at a fraction of the cost. As a 15-year-plus user of LoadRunner and instructor, I have to say that finding a tool that matches LoadRunner was the standard in selecting a tool at our company. With Webload, we are seeing response times in how our users experience the performance, allowing us to improve our product's quality. We are implementing a global performance engineering team for our cross-product testing needs.

The support organization is highly responsive to our request to meet with us to help with difficulties in capturing and modifying our scripts and develop solutions for performance counters. In my 20-plus years of testing tools use, I have not seen such a responsive organization as the Radview support and development team. Thank you, Richard and Yam, for making yourself available when we need help.

What do you dislike about the product?

I agree with others that the documentation and examples could use some work. The application is feature-rich, which is good, but it makes it challenging to keep up with the documentation and information on the Radview website. It seems some areas of documentation have not been updated in a release or two.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

To be successful, we need to not only provide quality features but must maintain our non-functional requirements of performance between these products as well as integration to external systems. Webload is helping us first understand the current performance state for each product and will be used to validate how it performs when fully integrated and when we make technology changes.
