OpenText Professional Performance Engineering vs. LoadView

LoadRunner is the industry-standard software solution for application performance and load testing. LoadRunner emulates hundreds or thousands of concurrent virtual users, with minimal hardware, to apply accurate workloads to any application. As it drives load against the system, LoadRunner captures end-user response times for business processes and transactions to determine whether the application can meet the required service-level agreements. Nonintrusive, real-time performance monitors captures real-time performance data from every component of application infrastructure.

LoadView is a fully managed, cloud-based load and performance testing platform that helps DevOps teams, QA professionals, and performance engineers ensure their websites, web applications, APIs, and streaming media can handle real-world traffic without slowing down or crashing. By simulating from a handful to hundreds of thousands of concurrent users, it reveals exactly how your systems behave under pressure—so you can fix bottlenecks before customers notice. What sets LoadView apart is that it runs tests in real browsers, not just simple HTTP requests.
