But a recurring question came from banks, hospitals, defense and public-sector teams: what if nothing is allowed to leave our network, not even the prompt? This article answers that question with a full walkthrough.. We will stand up a 100% on-premise, air-gapped stack, and it only takes two things to install: OctoPerf Enterprise in Docker, and a local Qwen3 large language model running in LM Studio, which doubles as the Model Context Protocol client.

This is the third post in our "Features Sitting Idle" series, where we shine a light on OctoPerf features that are already in your account but rarely used to their full potential. This is a blind spot many teams discover too late. Tests pass, metrics look fine, yet real users report slowness or errors after a release. The root cause is almost always the same: the load test was built against the HTTP protocol layer, but the user pain happens in the browser, above that layer.

In the first two articles of this series we showed what the OctoPerf MCP Server does. This one is for the builders: how we designed it, and specifically how we kept its token cost under control. Because here is the thing nobody tells you when you start writing a Model Context Protocol server: the hard part is not exposing your API to an LLM. The hard part is not exposing too much of it.

Modern performance testing is evolving beyond the traditional choice between enterprise platforms and open-source tools. Teams increasingly need the flexibility of JMeter, k6, Gatling, or Locust combined with enterprise-grade reporting, scalability, security, and support. A new generation of platforms helps reduce operational complexity, lower total cost of ownership, and accelerate adoption through AI-assisted workflows and simplified onboarding.

This post is the second in our "Features Sitting Idle" series, where we explore key OctoPerf features that are either misused, misunderstood, or simply unknown to most users. The question comes up every iteration, and yet teams usually handle it the same way: export two reports, open a spreadsheet, and compare numbers manually. It works, but it doesn't scale. After three or four sprints, no one wants to open another spreadsheet.

We are launching with this post a new series of blog articles and LinkedIn posts titled "Features Sitting Idle". In this series, we explore key features of OctoPerf that are either misused, misunderstood, or simply unknown to our users. It's time to shine a light on these hidden gems, features that are already there, ready to become a central part of how you test. This is probably the most common situation after a load test.

Performance testing tools continue to evolve rapidly as modern applications become more distributed, scalable, and performance-critical. In this article, we review some of the most widely used performance and load testing tools in 2026, including JMeter, k6, Gatling, and cloud-based platforms, based on their scalability, ease of use, and integration with modern DevOps workflows.

In today's security-conscious world, relying on a password alone is no longer enough. With 2FA enabled, even if your password is compromised, the attacker would still need access to a second verification method (your authenticator app) to get in. At OctoPerf we're committed to helping you safeguard your valuable test configurations, results, and reports - 2FA is an essential step in that mission.

In 2022, OctoPerf went through a major UI makeover. The goal was not only to move to a more modern tech stack, but above all to offer a smoother, more flexible experience to our users. Since then, this new UI has been warmly welcomed by the thousands of people using OctoPerf every day. Over time, we’ve kept listening to you: your positive feedback, your suggestions, your ideas for improvement.

If you recall part one of this blog post, we were going to use ChatGPT in parallel with how we would work to cover these aspects of performance testing. We left the first part of this blog post at the point at which we had compared Requirements Gathering and Risk Assessment, we will pick this post up by looking at Script Creation before concluding with Results Analysis. Our performance testing tool of choice will be JMeter.

This is a recorded demo of OctoPerf. We start from a fresh recording using firefox, then take time to make it dynamic. After that we configure a load policy and execute a complete load test.

In this white paper we are going to demonstrate that with a little thought and a bit of common sense any company can execute performance testing regardless of how complex the application under test.

OctoPerf is the first full Web user experience in the load testing tool market. Both our SaaS load testing solution and our on-premise Enterprise Edition comes with a Web UI. Design, set your load policy, execute your load test, and analyze it directly from a web browser.
OctoPerf provides an A to Z load testing service for web and mobile applications. Experience the best of legacy tools for a fraction of their price. Simulate the realistic behavior of users browsing through your application. Launch hundreds of thousands of concurrent users coming from all around the globe or from your own server infrastructure. Cross monitoring metrics with performance values to quickly spot bottlenecks.
Load Testing Made Simple:
- Harder: OctoPerf is developped by a hard-core agile team. We automate everything that can be and invest little to no money in marketing. In the end you benefit from unbeatable rates. By reintroducing competition, we make load testing more accessible.
- Better: While the majority of legacy tools features are irrelevant for most load testers, we focus on the most important ones, refining and polishing OctoPerf to offer you the best possible user experience.
- Faster: In addition to be the easiest to use, Octoperf prides itself on a contextual documentation, video tutorials, a methodology training and a live chat. You have all you need to quickly conduct load tests like a pro.
- Stronger: OctoPerf is based on proven open-source solutions: JMeter™ for the load testing engine and Rancher for the load injectors orchestrator. A high code quality and a 100% test coverage allows us to keep a high pace of feature release.
A New Load Testing Experience.
