What is Tricentis Flood?

Tricentis Flood is a load testing platform that is cloud-based and that enables organizations to see how their apps will respond to loads that are globally distributed. The solution is good for both developers and testers because it reduces load testing complexities. In addition, Tricentis Flood helps DevTest and DevOps teams because it provides continuous performance feedback very quickly.

Users like the Tricentis Flood solution for several reasons:

• It can integrate with Tricentis Tosca.
• It enables them to perform load testing with the same scriptless tests used for functional testing.
• It allows testers to bypass technical details when having to perform load tests at a browser level.
• It allows users to begin load testing apps and application components as it is being developed.
• Users can monitor performance impacts via load testing integration into CI/CD pipelines.

Other Tricentis Flood advantages include:

• It enables users to take test plans from open source tools (including JMeter, Gatling, and Selenium) and distribute them across readily available servers in the cloud.
• You can “flood” any HTTP endpoint.
• Users can start load testing new features as they are being developed.
• A developer or tester can instantly generate millions of globally distributed requests per second from their local machine without dealing with the hassles of requesting, configuring, or managing performance resources on premises or in the cloud.

Tricentis Flood users appreciate these benefits:

• The same core set of load tests can be used to meet different performance test requirements throughout the delivery process.
• The load can instantly be scaled up or down. This makes it possible for team members or automated processes to easily generate the load needed for a particular goal or phase.
• Tricentis Flood covers all load testing needs, including interactive developer performance tuning with real-time results, to automated CI-driven continuous load testing under a typical load and overnight under heavier loads, to comparing major feature updates versus previous performance benchmarks.
• Users mention that the initial setup is easy and straightforward.
• Users like that the solution has good integrations with other IT solutions.
• It can be utilized on the cloud, and you can also access the application on-premises.
• Users have good experiences with technical support and are generally very happy with the support they receive.
• Users say that it is cheaper compared to its competitors.

Some of the features users like include:

• The Browser Level User method
• Tosca Flood integration
• Enhanced economy of scale with cloud-based load generation across multiple global geographic locations
• Tool-agnostic
• Cluster-less, shared-nothing architecture
• Real-time reports
• Long-term data storage
• Test-friendly pricing

While users like the Tricentis Flood solution, it does have some drawbacks:

• Users mention its reporting features could be improved.
• Users say the solution is missing the Microsoft diary application, which would be useful to have as an additional feature in the future.
• Users express that the solution is still slightly immature.
• Reviewers feel that the solution’s dashboard creation for the reporting needs to be easier.
• Users also say the solution does not support multiple script executions.
