If you need to test a website behind the firewall, you can allow load traffic from specific IP addresses that you can open your firewall for. Herewith, each Load Injector will have its own unique IP address. All load traffic will be sent from the LIs with randomly allocated IP addresses. You can adjust the Payload value manually but it is recommended to run device calibration and apply the value suggested by our system on the calibration results.ĭepending on whether the target website is available or not from the public Internet, select a type of locations to send the load traffic from.ĭo Not Use Network Proxy if your website is available from the public Internet. Thus, it is important to set the optimal payload value. On the other hand, a large number of LIs used for the test increases the test cost. High payload affects the LI CPU usage and can lead to invalid tests results due to LI overload.
The Payload setting sets the number of those virtual users that will run on each LI. To emulate virtual users, we launch Load Injector Servers (LI) that, in turn, will run virtual users.
For detailed instruction, refer to Setting up Dynamic Adjustable Load Test.įor more help on how to pick the load type, see Choosing Right Type of Load Test.
Knowing how much your device can handle helps planning further software or hardware updates and to be prepared for real traffic. LoadView emulates users on your website or server by performing specified actions on your website (device) like browsing, searching, adding products to their shopping cart, etc., or generating certain types of requests to your device.
