NeoLoad

NeoLoad (load and stress testing) is an automated performance testing platform for enterprise organizations continuously testing from APIs to applications. It simplifies and scales performance testing for everything, from APIs and microservices to end-to-end application testing through innovative protocol and browser-based capabilities. It makes web testing more quickly, efficiently, and frequently, helps to optimize performance of the applications. Its monitoring modules identify performance bottlenecks, allowing to correct them prior to production, thereby enabling to assess the performance and reliability.

It is designed, developed and marketed by Neotys.
