Radview WebLoad: The Ultimate Guide

Introduction

What if I told you that getting started with advanced performance testing using JavaScript isn't as difficult as you think? Check it out. My name is FAS. I started my career at HP with LoadRunner, and now, after founding my startup Shield 34 and it being acquired by Radview, I serve as the CEO of Radview.

A Brief History

Radview has been around for over 30 years. Our flagship product, WebLoad, has been continually developed and recently integrated with AI features. My background in performance testing, especially with LoadRunner, made me realize the potential of WebLoad as an advanced tool for performance testing.

Open Source vs. Enterprise Tools

Open source performance testing tools are excellent for getting your feet wet and handling high-level performance testing. However, when it comes to extensive enterprise-wide performance testing, you need more robust features and support. WebLoad shines here, offering an advanced correlation engine, comprehensive scripting in JavaScript, and exceptional support.

Correlation in Performance Testing

Correlation is the process of capturing and using dynamic values passed between the client and server during a test. This is one of the most tedious and error-prone stages. Open source tools usually lack advanced correlation engines. WebLoad offers the most sophisticated correlation engine in the market, continuously improved over 30 years, with a customer-centric approach.

JavaScript and Flexibility

WebLoad uses JavaScript for coding scripts, allowing you to integrate any JavaScript library. This flexibility, combined with advanced analysis capabilities and rich dashboards, sets WebLoad apart.

AI in WebLoad

We've recently added AI features to WebLoad, starting with the AI explainer for results analysis. This helps users pinpoint issues and understand the results in a straightforward manner. Our roadmap includes making AI an integral part of the software lifecycle, aiding in scripting, correlation, and validation.

Licensing and Support

WebLoad offers flexible licensing models, including short-term rentals, making it adaptable to various business needs. Our support is unmatched, providing direct access to performance engineers to assist with scripting, analysis, and troubleshooting.

Customer Success Stories

One notable success story is a blood collection company with hundreds of centers. They needed to ensure their system could handle the load generated by these centers. Our performance engineers spent over 100 hours assisting them, ultimately completing the performance testing ahead of schedule.

Getting Started with WebLoad

Getting started with WebLoad is straightforward, thanks to our comprehensive courses and AI-enhanced documentation. For complex scenarios, our performance engineers are available to help.

Final Thoughts

When choosing a load testing tool, don't just look for the tool itself but consider the partner who will provide comprehensive support. Radview is committed to being that partner, ensuring your performance testing is successful.
