| General Features |
Enterprise Edition |
Web Edition |
| Distributed Architecture |
Load can be generated from a single machine or distributed on multiple machines. PureLoad do also make use of machines with multi CPU's. |
 |
|
| Platform independent |
Verified on Solaris, Linux (RedHat 7) and Windows NT/2000/XP. (Windows 95/98 can be used for evaluation purposes). |
|
|
| Testing of web applications |
Delivered with PureLoad tasks for testing of HTTP based applications |
|
|
| Supported standard protocols |
PureLoad is delivered with ready to use tasks for testing of NNTP, FTP, JDBC (relational databases), LDAP, DNS and JMS (Java Messaging Service). |
|
|
| Single point of control |
From the intuitive graphical user interface all actions required to set up the environment, define scenarios and control the load execution is performed. |
|
|
| Scenario Editor |
Create scenarios using the point and click interface or edit manually in XML format. |
|
|
| Virtual Clients |
Attach virtual clients (worker threads) with a mouse click. |
|
|
| Real-time graphs and reports |
The console instantly reports the current status of the load execution. Follow the trends and analyze during the execution. |
|
|
| HTML Reports |
Results and graphs are exported to files in HTML format. Result metrics can also be stored in a character separated value (CSV file for further processing in example Microsoft Excel. |
|
|
| Java Task API |
Build custom tasks using the Java Beans based Task API |
|
|
| Data Driven Testing |
The ability to specify dynamic parameters in tasks is crucial since a load execution must simulate real users. Dynamic data can be generated using the built in patterns or by reading a file. |
|
|
| Custom Data Sources |
Custom data sources is a way to extend the supplied parameter generators to generate any values. I.e read values from databases, directories, etc. |
|
|
| Bytes transferred statistics |
Tasks that supports counting of bytes (ex. HTTP) will report various statistics of bytes transferred between the virtual client and the server application. |
|
|
| Result Comparer |
Graphically compare the results from one or several load executions. |
