Robust API load testing has improved peak traffic handling but still needs a more intuitive UI
The ability to add scenarios, the ability to configure concurrent users per second, and the ability to define how long a particular test should last are valuable features. After that, I can draw conclusive reports and graphs around how well the particular test took, how many API calls were successful versus how many errored out, how many were failing due to authentication errors, and what sort of granular errors I got. That really helps us understand the scale at which our system is performing. I rely on the fact that we are able to add a particular number of users per second as simulations in the code or in Gatling Enterprise. The reason it is very important for my team is because it mimics the way actual users use our product in their day-to-day lives where there are periods wherein our system and product receive way more traffic, and that traffic results in way more downstream traffic, which Gatling Enterprise perfectly helps me capture. It has led us to have really robust scalability testing, performance testing, and load testing, thereby making sure of our system integrity during crunch time or during times of peak traffic. It has helped build confidence in our systems. We saw fewer outages and fewer periods of slowness in the product. Our number of customer complaints or customer escalations reduced by almost 20 to 30 percent over the period of a year when we initially started using Gatling Enterprise. As more and more teams are adopting this, the number is growing. It has led to real positive impact here.

IBM Rational has the RFT, which is rational functional testing. We do test automation with rational functional testing. So after we do that, we can put in all the code, then I can build it, then put all the test cases, and put all the build code for the shared location. And then rational that shared location means that RQM has access to the shared location. So, when we execute, if a test case is automated, we can run it from RQM. We need to have the environment ready for it to execute. Once we have that, then we can select the task case. So, by clicking on one button, the other environment is automatically plugged in. Then test results will be automatically transferred back to our RQM. So, in RQM, we can view it, and it is integrated. So we can run the test and the automation from RQM, and the test results will come back. Azure DevOps first test case is there, but then we tried to use Selenium to do half automation. Still, we realized that it wouldn't have the integration. We could do something in the pipeline, but it fires the Selenium test automation code. But then the test results won't be brought back or added to AzureDesk DevOps. That's something that I do hope that there can be another other system that can have this kind of integration. RQM can be improved because it's not related to our server and could be faster. We need to find out how much database storage is needed and keep increasing it. We heard that the latest version of RQM can clean up some old ones and give the same test result. But that one feature we are yet to use. It's a setting that we can set up, and then it goes automatically or gives me the choice to do it manually.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Gatling Enterprise has positively impacted our organization by streamlining the workflow, easing the task, and reducing manual labor."
"We saw fewer outages and fewer periods of slowness in the product, and our number of customer complaints or customer escalations reduced by almost 20 to 30 percent over the period of a year when we initially started using Gatling Enterprise."
"Integration with the other professional tools is a very strong advantage, so that we can have a traceability between the requirements and defects in Rational Team Concert. That's the most important aspect."
"In the latest version, Global Configuration is the most promising feature as it allows the user to maintain different versions of the same artifact in different streams."
"The technical support from IBM is very good."
"Testing can be linked with requirements, which makes traceability very easy."
"It allows user to add whichever widget (predefined) based on the need, and it has integration with CCM and RM to achieve traceability."
"The most valuable feature is the RFT because it allows us to automate manual test cases."
"Reusability and integration capabilities which make it a great choice for organizations that use a variety of development tools and platforms."
"It's very reliable as a solution."
 

Cons

"The setup is a little difficult."
"The UI can be made a little better to understand."
"Support of parameter needs to be easier."
"Overall, the solution is not user-friendly, and you need a very technical person on it in order to run it properly."
"Currently, the user interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"Organizing the test cases is tedious. There is no mechanism to keep and maintain the test cases as hierarchy. This should be seriously addressed."
"The user interface can be improved; it is the same interface that I have been seeing for the past so many years, whereas the other CLM modules changed significantly."
"RQM could be improved by adding a feature that allows test requirements to be selected when creating a task plan."
"It would be helpful if we could assign a hierarchy to a group of test cases."
"While RQM allows for running tests and viewing results, it could be further enhanced in terms of performance and speed."
