Great tool for performance testing

What are the best aspects of this product?

Performance testing that tests an app’s response time, behavior and whole performance. We use LoadRunner as the most used performance-testing tool and uses minimal hardware space, so all these requirements makes the product to be more efficient. This tool is flexible with the ability to extend tests with failure-checks and makes the tests more intelligent. We love the integration with external measurements, extensive vendor documentations and its help system. It offers any kind of support such as blogs, various fora and many other resources.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

First thing first, they need to think about the cost, because the price may prevent others of using this product. Additionally, it takes lot of time in scripting especially when tests complex cases it can take even few days in order to make a script. Re-usability of the scripts can be complicated too, and this is mostly because of the app changing. The other thing that I don’t like is that this product is not user-friendly, it can be hard to learn how to use it. It can be difficult to use it if you use even different data sources. To test the performances requires skilled and planning resources.
