Today eviware released our new software, loadUI.

I’m really excited about it. I think loadUI represents something very new. We’ve taken Load Testing and created a new, more intuitive way of creating performance tests which requires less work to do the same task. We’ve also added the ability to do this in real time. Previously Load Testing has been very static work; you would need to create the complete tests and run them to the end before you could update them.  This was very counter intuitive since Load Testing is very non-static in its nature;  it’s about chasing that elusive bottleneck that sticks it head out every now and then, but not all the time and not every time.

This is what we set out to do when building loadUI; being able to react to variations in response times or server behavior and then honing in on the bottlenecks. In real time. When the system started to wobble; not after it had recovered.

At the same time, I think you’ll find that loadUI is not a one trick pony; you still have all functionality needed for Load Testing. It’s just that you can do it in real time. And in a sexy tool. There. I said it. Sexy.
