The Future of Performance Testing: Managing Complexity, Maintainability and Cost

Web technologies are becoming increasingly complex, pushing more and more business logic and payloads to the browser, and performance testing tools that operate at the web protocol level are becoming profoundly more difficult and expensive to use and maintain. Watch two experienced NeoLoad engineers battle to complete a surprise performance testing project with minimal staff, racing against an impossible deadline. One engineer has years of experience using the effective and ubiquitous NeoLoad HTTP protocol, but in this situation, there is not enough time to complete the required work on time. The second engineer brings skills with NeoLoad's RealBrowser technology to the team and demonstrates how the simplified script develop Web technologies are becoming increasingly complex, pushing more and more business logic and payloads to the browser, and performance testing tools that operate at the web protocol level are becoming profoundly more difficult and expensive to use and maintain. Also, see cost benefit analysis of the RealBrowser versus using other tools and protocols on browser-heavy applications that you need to load test. The pay-off are not just with rapid development, reducing script creation costs, but the real benefits come with less maintenance needed, and faster, less complex maintenance when it is required.
