Les fonctionnalités de NeoLoad

Powerful Code-less Design

Loops, conditions and other drag & drop controls simplify test design creation, and JavaScript can still be used for extremely advanced cases. No need to be a specialist to test with NeoLoad.

Advanced Correlation

Faster design of the painful task of correlating dynamic parameters with:

• Pre-defined rules for the most common frameworks: .Net, JSF, Oracle E-Business, Siebel and more
• Automatic detection and handling of application-specific parameters

API testing

NeoLoad provides SOAP/Web Services support with options for REST and WSDL API testing. And NeoLoad enables you to easily import Swagger/OpenAPI file or URL to quickly get a NeoLoad performance test scenario that matches the API definitions.

As-code Design

NeoLoad aims to bridge the gap between Dev and QA by enabling DevOps teams to design and run performance tests as code (YAML) with their everyday development tool/IDE or CLI. Test as code and code-less testing let any user harness all the scalability and test results analysis power that are platform hallmarks.

Getting Started with Performance Testing As Code

Reuse Functional Tests for Performance

Convert existing functional test scripts to performance test scripts to accelerate performance test design and maintenance. NeoLoad converts Selenium, Worksoft Certify and Tricentis Tosca functional tests.

Automatic Script Update

Quickly update a test script with a new recording and automatically keep variable extractors, think times, SLAs, loops, JavaScript, validations and more from the original design. Merely follow the Script Update wizard to guide you through matching up the transactions between the new recording and old recording, check that everything is merging, adding or deleting correctly, and NeoLoad handles the rest.

CI/CD Integrations

• NeoLoad integrates natively with the most popular CI tools. NeoLoad provides out-of-the-box CI plugins for Jenkins, TeamCity, Bamboo and XebiaLabs XL Release.
• Integrate NeoLoad load tests in Docker friendly Continuous Integration pipelines such as GitLab, AWS CodeBuild and Azure DevOps.
• NeoLoad APIs & command line for all CIs: the different REST APIs, command line arguments and Docker images allows you to integrate NeoLoad with any CI tool or automated process.
• Git native integration: improve collaboration and efficiency: performance testers use the same Version Control as other teams with the NeoLoad’s native Git integration.
• Non-regression performance testing and trends.

API Testing

• Test earlier in the application lifecycle by testing at the API level.
  
• SOAP / REST Support.
• Assisted design with Swagger/Open API import & highly efficient extractors for fast test design and fewer errors in scripting. 
• The API test cases can be created from NeoLoad GUI for the best efficiency or from a YAML descriptor to ease the collaboration and allow a simple text file edition. 
• Test standalone APIs or APIs within end-to-end tests. Same platform, same skills
• Devs, QA, PO, Ops share a common view of API performance.

Performance Test as Code for Automation

• NeoLoad platform supports both graphical and code-based approaches to performance engineering: create, define settings and run performance tests as code using a YAML-based description format which is human readable, implementation agnostic, and domain specific to load testing. It’s great for developers, performance engineers, and business experts to collaborate on SLOs (Service Level Objectives), environment details such as service endpoint details, and load testing details such as ramp-up semantics.
• Overriding a NeoLoad Project: NeoLoad provides the unique capability to override a GUI-based Project with a YAML text file so that it’s easy to set any environment contextual settings in an automated process.
  
• 100% YAML-based projects: An alternative is to create a 100% YAML-based project to define your API test.
• NeoLoad supports Jenkins Pipeline as Code.

  
  Getting Started with Performance Testing As Code

Collaborate with the NeoLoad Platform

Define and run your tests on NeoLoad, the collaborative platform that provides a centralized test infrastructure. Collaborate with everyone involved in NeoLoad performance test execution or analysis (testers, developers, QA managers, business stakeholders/product owners). NeoLoad is available through a SaaS-based deployment.

Resource Reservation

Reserve load testing infrastructure (controllers and load generators) and virtual users by date and duration to guarantee resources are dedicated for application performance testing for a specific team or team member and avoid testing schedule conflicts among the teams.

Version Control with GIT & SVN

Manage and share test versions in Git or SVN. NeoLoad provides native integration for both standards to improve collaboration using the same corporate shared tools.

Network Virtualization

For the most real-world simulated mobile and web applications tests, NeoLoad emulates users accessing the server with varying bandwidths, latency and packet loss with preconfigured values for varying signal strengths of 3G, 4G, WiFi and more.
