Xceptance LoadTest - Screenshots

The following screenshots show various XLT modules.

Test Recorder with Demo Application

The XLT test recorder significantly reduces the time needed to develop test cases. As a Firefox plugin it is easy to install and provides an executable JUnit4 scaffold code; only the necessary validations have to be added.

Test Suite in the Eclipse IDE

Tests for and with XLT can be created using the integrated development environment Eclipse, just like normal JUnit4 tests. This means that all of Eclipse’s features are available, including the debugger, to thoroughly address any test problems that may occur. You can, however, also use Netbeans or any other IDE compatible with JUnit4 to develop tests.

Command Line View During Test Run

XLT load tests are started and monitored from the command line. This means that tests can be controlled from remote systems, without requiring any complicated infrastructure.

Result Browser

The XLT result browser supports test case development with a realistic and detailed display of web pages and the underlying server communication. Failures encountered during load tests can be easily and quickly evaluated and diagnosed. Complex error situations are no longer a challenge but instead easy to debug and therefore easy to solve.

Test Report, Overview Section

This screenshot shows a detail of an XLT test report. In the upper right corner you can see the opened navigation section that allows you to quickly navigate to any part of the report.

Test Report, Actions Section

Actions represent the single steps that are triggered by the simulated users. The tabs allow to select alternative charts to visualize the result data. The navigation section is closed but permanently available.

Test Report, Requests Section

Each request represents a real interaction with the server. A user action might trigger multiple requests sent by the web browser, or, in this case, by the XLT framework.

Agent Monitoring Report

This report shows the resource usage of the load agents during the test run.

Comparison Report, Actions Section

With XLT 3.3, you can create comparison reports to get a quick overview over performance improvements (green) or performance degradation (red) between two test runs.

Long-Term Trend of Test Results in Trend Reports

From XLT 3.3 on you can create trend reports to visualize the evolution of test results over multiple test runs by different colors. Each column represents one test run.
