Load Testing Tools

We are enjoying much success with our load testing tools.

Why? Good question. We are convinced it is because we are solving a problem for web application developers and web site designers all around the world. Load testing is expensive. Traditionally, commercial load testing tools have cost at least $10,000 - some of the big ones can cost over $1 million. Even with open source software, there is much cost in time to install, configure, and script the tool. Then comes the real problem...where do we get the extra server horsepower to generate the virtual user volume?

Most medium sized companies have a handful of skilled IT personnel, and usually only one or maybe two people that work on their web site. It is difficult for such a work environment to provide the resources needed to adequately load test.

The same is true with development shops with 5-50 developers/testers. It is very challenging to get the load testing tools, hardware, and time to learn a scripting language.

LoadStorm is designed to be easy, inexpensive, and highly scalable. We are proud of the testimonials received from our customers. It makes us happy to know we have helped people. We understand those people because it is the life we have led for years - web development with little budget for load testing.

I get excited every day when I get another email thanking us for providing a valuable load testing tool for the under-served SMB market. The future is bright because we are solving a real problem. That makes me enjoy my job tremendously.
