September was a busy month for our team. With some of the vacations still happening, we worked hard to make our tool even better for you and also created and ran tests for some of our customers. While work on some features is still in progress, in this blog post we share what was changed in Loadero in September.
We have already wrote previously about how you can automate your testing routines without using the graphical interface but by using Loadero API instead. In this blog post we will show how you can integrate performance and load tests into your CI/CD workflows with the help of Github Actions. Github Actions allow you to automate and execute your development workflows directly from your repository which makes the integration very simple.
August was a month with multiple vacations in our team, but it didn’t make our work lag. Some important changes were made last month and we are glad to announce how we improved our tool recently and what you can do to make your Loadeo tests even better, more relevant and insightful.
Dynatrace is a cloud monitoring platform and is used by many organisations to measure the performance of their production systems and to set thresholds against which performance tolerance are measured. During testing Dynatrace can be used to monitor how the application under test responds during your performance tests as well as providing the capability to drill down into performance issues you may need to investigate.
With the growing demands for online communication platforms, the need for testing various scenarios has drastically increased. Therefore when testing WebRTC application implementations most of the time there is a need to provide a video and audio feed to the application to test various aspects of the functionality implementation. To address this need, Loadero was providing several preset audio and video feed configuration combinations.
Any software development project will almost certainly have through several tests by the time it is finished, especially in an Agile testing environment where testing and development occur simultaneously. But, no matter how many tests you've conducted, there's really only one way to tell if your software can handle the actual demands your army of end-users will be throwing on it once it's nearly finished. It's known as load testing.
With the growing demand for online communication, there has been a noticeable increase in platforms to provide just that. With such service comes high expectations in quality and usability to become the best! We hear about those high expectations quite often, some people developing video calling applications that use CPaaS expect them to work and scale perfectly and don’t load test their own applications.
One of the core tasks during load testing is setting-up of required Test Agents or Load Generators. Though it is straightforward in most cases, it can be challenging and time-consuming when you do not have enough details required for hardware sizing and memory footprint and also need support for thousands of virtual users.
It’s summer, a pleasant time for taking a vacation and having some rest. While members of the Loadero team take holidays too, work on improving our service to serve customer’s needs is never interrupted. In this blog post we are sharing updates to our application that took place in July.
Have you ever wondered, while manually creating tests in Loadero, that it would be nice to have some library that you can use to create tests programmatically? Sounds nice, isn’t it? Well, luckily, Loadero does have this option now. In this blog post I would like to introduce you to the recent creation of Loadero’s team — Loadero Java library.
