Frequently Asked Questions
What are Virtual Users?
What are Load Injectors?
LoadView uses virtual load injector servers to distribute simulated user load while executing stress tests. LoadView supports 40+ geo-locations to instantiate load injectors from.
How do you ensure the load injectors themselves are not a bottleneck of testing?
When you calibrate a test, we calculate how many virtual users per machine can safely run without over-burdening the CPU of each load injector. This is how we arrive at the number of virtual users per load injector. Depending upon the task type and whether the task uses a real browser or not, there can sometimes be a small spike at the beginning of a task, such as when a browser opens, clears cache, and starts the script.
Typically the average CPU usage is much lower than 100 percent, so we do allow you to increase the number of virtual users per machine to get a higher utilization of each machine, however, if you change this number, we cannot guarantee the cloud machines will not max out CPU usage and become a slight bottleneck of the test.
What is a geo-zone?
A geo-zone is a location where load injectors are instantiated and where virtual users are created. While stress and load testing, you can select from 40+ geo-zones from around the world.
Which type of load curve should I use?
The type of load curve you use depends on your situation. Here are some guidelines to consider when choosing the right load curve.
Load Step Curve
We recommend choosing the load step curve if the objective is is to learn how your website reacts to gradual increases in load. For example, if your marketing team is planning to run a promotion, and you want to test how your website will respond to the increase of traffic, the load step curve should be used.
Goal-based Curve
The goal-based curve is recommended when you already have a predetermined throughput (transaction goal), or know the number of visitors you expect in a given time interval. Goal-based curve tests are ideal for validating SLAs and non-functional requirements.
Dynamic Adjustable Curve
The dynamic adjustable curve allows you to adjust user traffic while the test is running. This type of curve is recommended to identify website performance limits or plan server capacity. During the test you can simultaneously adjust load and hardware, or software, resources, for example, giving you real-time data and insight into how your website or application behaves as load changes.
Which cloud infrastructure providers are available through the LoadView Platform?
Amazon Web Services and Azure Cloud Services.
What is meant by load testing in real browsers?
The LoadView platform can be utilized to run different user simulation types: protocol-based (HTTP/S) and real browser-based simulations. With real-browser based tests, LoadView allows you choose between real browsers, such as Chrome, Internet Explorer, and mobile browsers/devices, so you can measure the actual client-side/user experience.
What is the maximum number of users can you generate?
When should I use protocol or real browser-based tests?
Depending on the specific need, use case, or technology of the system being tested, the LoadView platform can be utilized to run different user simulation types, such as protocol-based (HTTP/S) and real browser-based simulations.
- Protocol-based (HTTP/S) load simulation
Protocol level scripts are perfect for component level tests in CI/CD environments and have a low footprint on load injection machines. Recommended for testing the following:
• Web servers
• Web APIs, such as JSON, SOAP, REST, and XML
• Single web pages without JavaScript or CSS
- Real browser-based simulation
When you need to simulate real user behavior and have web applications that utilize specific technologies and Rich Internet Applications (RIA), like JavaScript, CSS, Flash, or AJAX, using a real browser is key. Using this simulation allows developers to verify the site’s functionality and speed as perceived by a user, but this option has the highest footprint on load injection machines.
