7 Best Performance Testing Tools to Look Out for in 2021

DZone

Performance testing does not essentially display imperfections with an app, yet it needs to ensure that the app function as expected despite the bandwidth availability, network fluctuations, or traffic overload. Therefore, designing and implementing such tests are crucial to ensure the stability of the website.

The Role of Recording in Load Testing Tools

Alex Podelko

An interesting discussion started around a very good post Open Source Load Testing Tool Review by Ragnar Lönn. If that same transaction (for your organization) calls say 100+ APIs, someone did some bad system architecture. We may see it from a large number of load testing tools that doesn’t offer much other options.
