Every month we are making some changes to Loadero to offer a better tool for your performance and load testing, and May wasn’t an exception. Our engineers worked hard and this month there are big updates that will definitely help our users gain more insights from the real end-to-end tests in Loadero.
Load testing may seem like a simple task that anyone should be able to do on their own. You just have to be ready for the worst – service crashing completely. But in practice it is almost never that simple, especially with larger projects that are in more mature development stages, projects with many customers or business processes that require more bureaucracy to communicate between parties involved. Engineers from Loadero team have created load tests for different kinds of applications.
This month we are especially proud to announce updates that took place in Loadero recently, as we finally added another language to create test scripts, supplemented built-in fake media, and made other improvements to ease testing and make it more insightful for our users. Here is what has been added or changed during the last month.
Sometimes using a graphical user interface isn’t enough to fulfill your daily tasks, especially when you start automating your testing routines. Imagine a scenario, when you perform a regression test on a piece of functionality every time you push a new release or merge your code to a particular branch. It would be a nightmare to manually run those tests every time, especially if your team is rather large and you’re practicing continuous delivery.
Time flies by and Q1 of 2021 has already passed. Our team was busy working on improving Loadero to make it easier to use and provide more insightful testing results to our users. We are proud to announce some long-anticipated updates that were done during the last months, make sure to use them for your benefit.
Welcome to the “A beginners guide to test automation with Javascript(Nightwatch.js)” blog series part 2! If you have missed out on the first part, you can read it here. In this article we will look into the following and as always – feel free to skip to any part you are the most interested in: Code used in this article can be found in Loadero’s public GitHub examples repository here.
Setting a correct increment strategy for load generation is crucial when you are load testing a website or service. It’s especially important to make sure your website will not be bombarded by a huge number of participants all at once. Choosing correct increment strategy helps you organize your test run flow. You are making sure that participants start exactly how you expect. That can be especially useful for WebRTC service testing.
