Parasoft Load Test allows you to have full control over all aspects of the load testing process including the following areas:
- Coordinating Setting up Multiple Machines (Clustering): You can coordinate set up multiple machines running Load Test on your network to generate larger amounts of load than what a single machine can generate. Click on the Machines folder in the load test window and explore the GUI that appears. For each machine, you have the option for High Throughput mode, which generates higher load intensities using the same hardware by disabling certain response processing operations. See Running Load Tests on Remote Machines for details.
- User Profiles: Creating user profiles allows you to directly relate your load test back to your functional tests. This means that once you have created your functional tests, no further work is required to begin running it under load. Double-click the Profiles folder in the load test window and view each of the profiles that have been created.
- Custom Scenarios: Load Test provides four default load testing scenarios (Bell, Buffer Test, Linear Increase, and Steady Load) or allows you to create your own custom scenario. These scenarios can be created to emulate possible real-life scenarios that may occur during normal usage. Click on the Scenarios folder and view the scenarios that are provided for this example.
- Monitors: Monitors can be added to Load Test to monitor various system resources as your load test occurs. Right-click on the Monitors folder to view the monitors that are available to be added. Load Test supports SNMP, Windows Perfmon, and JMX monitors. See Using Monitors for details.
