Kulveer Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Supports AI-enabled load testing and aids in preventing unexpected outages by ensuring infrastructure sizing aligns with the anticipated load
The challenge lies in the time-consuming manual coding and testing. It takes a while to understand it, repeat it with the managers or a business analyst, and then share the reports with stakeholders, and the whole process takes time. So it would be beneficial for us if there is some kind of a dashboard where you can have different rules. A dashboard with different rules would be beneficial for quick approvals and deployment, reducing the need for extensive meetings and email communication. It could be improved in some areas to support the latest web technologies. For example, LoadRunner could be improved to better support single-page applications (SPAs). Another way to improve LoadRunner would be to add better support for testing SPAs. Now, most people are going for WAV 2.0. Most of the applications are single-page applications where the browser is not refreshing.
