Datasheet

The Xceptance LoadTest datasheet provides a short feature overview and explains some of the benefits of using XLT.

Quick Start

The XLT Quick Start Guide gives you a short overview of XLT itself, its features, and how it can be used to perform regression and load tests in a comfortable, platform-independent approach. The document describes the basic steps of writing a web test suite, testing the suite itself, and finally rolling it out to perform a load test.

To get the most out of this document and to be able to work effectively with XLT, you should have some basic knowledge about web technologies, the Java programming language, and JUnit4. An XLT Quick Start Guide in HTML format is also contained in the downloadable XLT Software Package.
