Continuous Performance Testing: Neotys Neoload
To fully accelerate DevOps delivery pipelines, software teams are moving to a position of “continuous everything.” Perhaps nowhere is this more important than with performance testing. Performance is the “brass ring” of application functionality, and teams shouldn’t have to exert one extra minute diagnosing performance bugs or the load-handling and functional bugs that also negatively impact performance.
With continuous delivery, applications must “fail faster.” Continuous performance testing enables teams to “fix faster,” too.
For continuous integration to succeed, teams must reduce the time between a change and the discovery of any related defects. That requires pinpointing the source of each issue, in near real time, and then remediating it. Manual testing isn’t just impractical for such an effort — it’s impossible. Continuous performance testing not only supports much greater test volumes than any other mechanism; it requires no human intervention except for addressing the defects it identifies.
To equip software teams with the optimal mix of flexibility, innovation and coverage for continuous testing, especially for CI/CD pipelines, Orasi partnered with Neotys to offer Neoload.
