Load Testing Tools

Load Testing Tools Reviews and Ratings

What is Load Testing Tools?

Load Testing Tools determine the performance of a system, software product, or software application under real-life based load conditions and resource utilization levels. The goal of load testing is to improve performance bottlenecks and to ensure stability and smooth functioning of software application before deployment.

Through specialized testing software,various scenarios are simulated to test the system’s behavior under different load conditions. The software places a simulated “load” or demand from multiple sources on applications to ensure it remains stable during operation and peak load.

It enables test analysts to evaluate application performance and maximize the operating capacity of the application.
