WebLoad is a comprehensive software utility made for advanced PC users looking to run benchmarks on the computer when it comes to its performance abilities.
The setup procedure is pretty lengthy and there are several options put at your disposal. You can either install the WebLoad console which includes all the program's components, or just the load generator to use the PC as a load machine. Regardless of the chosen option, you can also install the load generator as a service.
The Postgre SQL database system is also included in the package, and it should be installed on the PC in order for the utility to work, unless it already exists.
The welcome screen shows the three primary components: you can create and edit scripts by loading the WebLoad IDE, create and run tests by launching the WebLoad console, as well as analyze the load tests results via WebLoad Analytics, respectively.
The software application comprises a wide range of features. For example, you can use templates with custom, log and error reports, pages and transaction analysis, percent reports, regression, and so on. Graphical representations may be thoroughly studied to interpret results and export them to files.
Multiple tabs are supported, so you can open multiple types of reports at once. Web pages may be run alongside WebLoad to record scripts and accurately evaluate performance details in HTML or JavaScript viewing mode.
The app runs on a significant amount of CPU and RAM, which is normal for a benchmarking application. It executed commands swiftly and generally worked smoothly in our tests. On the other hand, it froze several times when we attempted to create new projects for recording and editing scripts, and we eventually had to terminate the app's process to restart it.
Nevertheless, WebLoad has a lot to offer to serious users who want to run multipurpose and critical tests on their Internet applications, especially considering the fact that it's free.
