Load Testing Tools - Apica ZebraTester

Advanced Performance Reporting & Load Testing Tools





Smart Performance Testing Starts with the Right Tools

Apica ZebraTester is one of the most accurate and easy-to-use load testing tools currently available.

ZebraTester uses advanced script management technology to pinpoint precisely when and where performance issues begin.

Knowing and testing your load capacity leads to more satisfied customers, optimized website and application resources, and better infrastructure investment choices.


Apica ZebraTester - the Ultimate Load Testing Tool

Mobile Load Testing

Record native device traffic via ProxySetting. Capture and reply WS/API calls over http/https.

Supported Web Standards

HTTP and HTTPS, HTML forms, HTML hyperlinks, HTML redirects, CGI parameters, JSON data, XML and SOAP, and WebDAV for extracting and assigning dynamic session parameters at runtime and more.

Protection Against False Positives

Automatically compare current test response data to originally recorded responses using a unique heuristic algorithm.

Detailed Results and Reports

ZebraTester comes with 24 standard charts that incorporate statistics at each layer, plus a custom PDF reporting tool. PDF reports include real-time comments that provide insight into “what if” scenarios such as response time behavior and stability under varying load conditions.

Automate Test Generation

Up to 30 available command lines directly automate test generation without using the GUI. Tests automatically execute and generate results, including PDF report creation and use of the integrated Web Crawler.

Flexible Payment Options

Monthly, pay-as-you-go, and user-based pricing options allow individuals and teams to access powerful features for both special, one-time projects and regular testing.


Load Testing Tool Features


Create and Run Scripts with Ease

Apica ZebraTester offers a unique, powerful GUI which does not require you to learn any scripting language. There is no need to implement complicated regular expressions, even if you need to extract session parameters from HTML, JSON, and XML data.

All the rich product features are directly accessible through the high-performance, user-friendly portal.

Tutorial


Configure and Run Load Tests from a Local Machine or Apica's Cloud Service

Record a click sequence on the site you wish to test in order to simulate real user behavior, such as making a purchase, booking a flight, logging in to a website portal, etc. Play back and edit the sequence before saving it.

Existing scripts can be uploaded and run as multiple users/load tests from the Apica LoadTest portal.
