Performance testing is a specialized discipline focused on assessing system performance metrics like speed and scalability. While it shares the goal of ensuring product quality, it should not be equated with the broader scope of quality assurance. In some organizations, the performance test team operates as part of the QA team, while in others, it […]

If you’re working with gRPC, you already know how important it is to test your system’s performance under real-world conditions. Whether you’re managing microservices or building real-time applications, the tools you use for testing can either save you time or create headaches. So, let’s not waste any time and go directly to the best gRPC […]

It’s hard to find someone in the performance testing community who hasn’t heard of Apache JMeter. We love it for being open-source, free, feature-rich, protocol-friendly, and easily extendable. While JMeter remains a favorite, there are other tools that offer unique strengths and advantages. This article presents a comprehensive list of the top 5 JMeter alternatives, […]

In today’s digital ecosystem, APIs form the backbone of diverse software applications, facilitating communication and data exchange for an interconnected digital world. However, as demand for these services grows, ensuring their robustness and ability to handle varying levels of traffic becomes crucial. This is where PFLB, a next-generation, cloud-based load testing tool, comes in. In […]

Gatling Cloud, a cloud-based extension of the open-source performance testing tool, is a powerful load testing solution with its benefits. Those include excellent scalability, no-code test builder, moderate price for virtual user hours (VUh), and numerous useful integrations. However, with its steep learning curve due to reliance on Scala/Java and setup (and overall) complexity, it […]

Over a decade ago, BlazeMeter reshaped the landscape of load testing by moving it to the cloud. Serving as a cloud-based execution platform for the well-known JMeter, it freed engineers from the burden of managing infrastructure and allowed them to focus solely on testing. The result was a significant reduction in operational complexity and a […]

gRPC stands for Google Remote Procedure Call, which is a modern framework designed to make communication between services seamless and efficient. By leveraging Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) and HTTP/2, gRPC enables robust, schema-driven, and language-agnostic communication, making it a preferred choice in distributed systems. In this article, we’ll dive deep into the world of gRPC, exploring […]

Need to find the best API load testing tools? This guide breaks down the top tools to help ensure your APIs perform seamlessly under stress. By mimicking concurrent interactions from multiple users and HTTP requests, load tests are instrumental in detecting potential choke points within the API structure that could compromise overall system effectiveness. You’ll […]
