NeoLoad vs. LoadRunner

What’s the difference?

Unternehmen stellen zunehmend fest, dass die Leistungstest-Tools von Micro Focus, auf die sie sich seit Jahren verlassen, nicht mit modernen Softwareentwicklungs- und Testansätzen Schritt halten können.

That’s where NeoLoad comes in.

Es ist schwer, überhaupt einen Vergleich zu ziehen

Die Vorteile von NeoLoad:

  1. Rapid performance test design
  2. Code-arme oder Code-freie Ansätze
  3. Automated script maintenance
  4. Short learning curve
  5. Automatisierte CI-Pipeline
  6. Native Multi-Cloud-Flexibilität
  7. Simple integration into traditional and modern tech stacks
  8. Single tool for protocol and browser-based testing

Die Eigenschaften von LoadRunner:

  1. Slow performance test design
  2. All code all the time
  3. High script maintenance
  4. Long learning curve
  5. Not natively designed for CI
  6. Limited cloud options
  7. Complex to integration into tech stacks

NeoLoad vs LoadRunner: A comparative guide

Performance testing for the modern enterprise

Business benefits of better performance testing

Test fast to release fast

Reduce testing cycles from weeks to days, from days to hours. Our drag-and-drop approach avoids time-consuming scripting “by hand.” Automatic updates means no more rewriting scripts every time code changes. Get more done faster with fewer resources.

Hintergrund

Make performance a team sport

Open up performance testing to all different teams with different skill sets. A standardized platform that’s both easy for non-experts and has enterprise-grade muscle for the experts, promotes effective and efficient collaboration and scales performance expertise without adding more experts.

Simplify the transition to DevOps

Complexity is the #1 obstacle to “test early and often.” Simplify testing to empower every team to automate continuous performance testing into their go/no-go decisions every time they check in code — when it’s easier and less expensive to fix problems, before they ever see the light of day.

What's the ROI of switching?

Migrating to NeoLoad is actually less work than sticking with LoadRunner

Tricentis has been migrating some of the world’s most complex application environments from LoadRunner to NeoLoad for 10+ years. Enterprise customers consistently find that switching to NeoLoad is far faster, easier, and higher in business value than they anticipated. Their key takeaways:

  1. Migration is not a technical challenge
    Enterprises who’ve made the switch agree: there is no technical difficulty in migrating. It’s more a cultural misperception about the effort involved.
  2. Everything’s faster in NeoLoad
    Writing scripts in NeoLoad once is no more effort than updating them in LoadRunner once — but then NeoLoad’s automatic maintenance is 60-75% faster than LoadRunner’s manual maintenance.
  3. Proven migration strategy
    Tricentis hat Erfahrung in der reibungslosen Migration von LoadRunner zu NeoLoad. Wir wissen, was funktioniert – und was nicht. Unser Vier-Punkte-Aktionsplan basiert auf praktischer Erfahrung, nicht auf Theorie.
  4. Migration is a great time to reassess
    Changing tools is a golden opportunity to reassess your approach to performance testing and focus on your most important goals (think: DevOps).
  5. Start realizing ROI in about 3 months
    The average enterprise migration to NeoLoad takes only three months. Most (± 70%) scenarios can be migrated in just a couple of weeks. You start reaping the benefits immediately.
