Load testing tools

What is it?

Load Testing is a type of performance testing that evaluates:

• How a system, application, or infrastructure behaves under specific load conditions.
• Simulation of real‑world scenarios, such as multiple concurrent users or large volumes of processed data.

These tests help to:

• Identify bottlenecks.
• Detect points of failure.
• Assess system behaviour under stress conditions.

The primary goal of load testing is to:

• Ensure that an application or system can handle expected workloads.
• Detect issues before they impact end users.

Why filter companies by their usage?

Segmenting by load testing usage allows you to tailor commercial strategies:

• Advanced companies: Help them refine and improve their testing processes.
• Companies without load testing: Guide them to prevent critical issues and ensure reliable performance.

Companies that do use it

These companies already perform load testing on their systems and are likely interested in:

• Improvements to increase test accuracy.
• Automation to reduce manual effort.
• Scalability to adapt testing to larger infrastructures.

Your sales team could offer:

• Integration with advanced analytics tools.
• Consulting services to optimise existing testing processes.
• Solutions to automate and scale load testing.

Companies that do not use it

These companies may:

• Not be evaluating system capacity under load.
• Face higher risks of failure during traffic spikes (for example, promotions or product launches).

This can:

• Increase the risk of service outages.
• Lead to a poor end‑user experience.

Your sales team could offer:

• Initial consulting to identify critical testing areas.
• Basic load testing tools to implement initial tests.
• Training in performance testing strategies for technical teams.
