NeoLoad 2025.2: Performance testing for IAM at scale

In many enterprise organizations, particularly across public sector and regulated industries, identity and access management (IAM) are not just a best practice; it’s a mandate. From federal agencies and financial institutions to healthcare and utilities, internal IT policies often require every application to integrate with a centralized identity provider (IdP) such as Microsoft Entra ID or Okta. For performance testing teams, this creates a real challenge when modern tools are unable to plug into the organization’s existing authentication framework.

Secure access shouldn’t mean limited options

Single Sign-On (SSO) can be a central component of this challenge. It’s how organizations ensure secure, efficient access across internal systems while maintaining strict governance. SSO reduces password sprawl and enforces critical access control policies, among other benefits. But not every testing platform supports enterprise IAM requirements, particularly when customers need on-premises deployment options when unable to leverage cloud-hosted services.

For many public sector agencies and security-conscious enterprises, SaaS and cloud adoption are limited by internal policies related to data residency, access control, or regulatory compliance. These organizations often need to deploy tools and applications on-premises but still expect them to integrate with the same enterprise-grade identity infrastructure used across their environments. When solutions don’t support this, teams are forced into workarounds or are unable to adopt the tools at all.

NeoLoad 2025.2 delivers what teams need most

With this release, Tricentis NeoLoad Web on-premises now includes SSO support via SAML 2.0, making it possible to connect with your organization’s identity provider and enable policy-based authentication for performance testing users. This enables a key capability for organizations that need the control of an on-prem solution that adheres to critical secure access and governance requirements.

By supporting SSO for on-prem deployments, NeoLoad allows performance testing teams to:

• Manage user access through existing enterprise IdPs
• Align with internal IAM and compliance policies
• Enable testing across secure environments without exception

As performance testing remains a crucial function to delivering application reliability and quality, NeoLoad ensures every team, regardless of deployment requirements, can test at scale, securely, and with confidence. With SSO support now available for NeoLoad Web on-prem, teams in regulated and security-sensitive industries can modernize their performance testing practice while maintaining compliance and adhering to internal requirements while aligning with their current IdP.
