Performance Testing

Guides for authoring, running and analysing tests across web automation, API and performance — plus setup, collaboration and release notes.

Execute Tests

Performance tests run only in the cloud. There is no Local Agent or single-step Send like functional API or Web testing. Execution uses the platform load infrastructure (cloud agents, devices, licenses). Save the performance testcase, click Run, enter a tag and Test Run Config in the run dialog, click Save to queue the run, then track progress under Performance → Test Results.

Run is disabled while creating a new testcase — save it first.

Prerequisites

  • A saved performance testcase with load model configured (see ).
  • For API load: linked API functional testcase or uploaded JMX (see ).
  • For Web load: linked Web functional testcase.
  • At least one for your performance type (or create one from the run dialog with + Add Item).

How to run a test

Cloud execution only — use this for all performance runs.

From Testcases list

  1. Open Performance > Testcases and click Run on a saved testcase row.
    2. Performance Testcases list with Run on a row
  2. Enter a Tag (required), select a Test Run Config (required), and optionally choose major/minor release. See .
    3. Performance run dialog with tag and Test Run Config
  3. Click Run to queue the run on the platform.

From testcase details

  1. Open Performance > Testcases and click the testcase Name to open details.
  2. Save the testcase if you changed load settings — Run is disabled while creating a new testcase or before save.
  3. Click Run.
    4. Performance testcase details with Run button
  4. Use the same run dialog — enter Tag, select Test Run Config, and optional release. See .
    5. Performance run dialog with tag and Test Run Config
  5. Click Run to queue the run on the platform.

From Test Results (Re-Run)

Open a completed run under Performance > Test Results, click Re-Run, enter tag and Test Run Config in the same dialog, then click Save to queue the run.

After the run starts, open to watch live metrics while the run is IN_PROGRESS, then review pass/fail and response times when complete.

Note: Before you run

CheckRequired
Performance testcase savedYes
Load model configured (users, run type, duration/iterations)Yes
API testcase linked or JMX uploadedFor API load
Web testcase linkedFor Web load
Test Run Config selectedYes
Tag enteredYes
Account license/capacity for virtual usersPlatform enforces
  • Cloud runs cannot exceed your plan's Max execution time. See .
  • If no device or license is available, the run may stay QUEUED until resources free up.

Expected outcome

The performance run is queued on the platform, progresses through QUEUED and IN_PROGRESS, and completes with metrics saved in Test Results. You can Stop or Cancel as needed, Re-Run from a result, and Set as Baseline on passed completed runs.
