Nobody disputes the importance of performance tests as long as they do not jeopardize the schedule of your project. Since performance tests are carried out with special tools, the test cases that are already automated must be developed twice.
I would like to introduce my add-on, with which I can set up the performance test with existing scripts.
The way software behaves over time has a significant influence on whether the software is rated as good or bad by the user. That is why many projects plan performance testing from the outset.
During the planning phase, stakeholders quickly understand that the performance test must be carried out with special tools. However, they tend to be reluctant to understand that this means that the test cases for the performance test have to be redeveloped. They would much rather simply reuse existing test cases.
As a performance engineer, I wouldn't want to do without the advantages of the performance testing tool NeoLoad from Tricentis. On the other hand, it would be good if I could use existing test cases that were developed with Robot Framework.
The Robot Framework – NeoLoad AddOn combines the advantages of Robot Framework and NeoLoad in performance testing.
Test cases developed with Robot Framework are suitable as a basis for developing scripts for NeoLoad. The test cases can also be integrated directly into a performance test without customization and provide information on the end-user experience.
The test cases developed with NeoLoad are essentially based on the network protocol and thus allow more test cases to be run in parallel on a single hardware system because no browser instances are instantiated.
The presentation will cover the concept behind the Robot Framework – NeoLoad AddOn, which can basically be applied to other combinations of test execution tools and performance testing tools.
