Frequently Asked Questions

WebLOAD can be deployed on premise or in the customer’s cloud account (in which case it is managed by the user),  or it can be used in a SaaS model. For detailed information on WebLOAD’s cloud deployment options, see this page.

This question may refer to either of the following scenarios. In either scenario the answer is yes:

1. If you need to load test an application that runs on the cloud, then yes – it can be tested using WebLOAD regardless of whether you run WebLOAD on-premise or as SaaS on the cloud). 
2. If you need to generate load from the cloud, again the answer is yes – WebLOAD provides two options for running distributed cloud loads:

• SaaS load testing using the WebLOAD cloud
• Self managed using any public cloud platform

WebLOAD helps you identify the root-cause of problems by collecting client-side, network, and server-side performance data (from operating systems, web servers, application servers, networks, and database servers) and correlating your load scenario with data related to CPU, memory, capacity, processes, disk I/O, queue data, etc. WebLOAD also integrates with APM tools like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, New Relic and Nagios.

To learn more about the tools WebLOAD provides to pinpoint problems and bottlenecks, see the Analytics page and the Dashboard web UI page.
