It is used to determine your maximum capacity to understand which components fail first, its order and nature of failure. It allows load, stress and endurance testing of websites, mobile apps and APIs. > > Verdict: Rated **5.0/5** by 3 users. Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of k6.io Realistic simulated users – We simulate traffic exactly how it would happen in real life. Our Virtual Users (VUs) use multiple concurrent TCP connections when loading resources from a single target host; can ramp-up from 0 to 100,000 users in under a minute; use DNS just like real clients (cache according to TTL, etc.); have extensive HTTP support including redirect behavior, custom headers, all verbs, cookie handling, compression handling, etc. Mobile testing - Quickly create a load test which simulates different mobile network conditions - such as 3G, 4G, Edge, etc - and easily record mobile user scenarios using our hosted proxy recorder. API testing - Exercise the set of calls documented in your API exactly as your users would. Ensure that resources exposed by the API can be created, listed, updated and deleted appropriately under expected load. Large-scale load generation – We are able to generate load levels as high as 1.2 million concurrent users with multiple IPs and locations, depending on requirements. Automatic and advanced scripting - Script user scenarios in Lua, using our IDE with code completion, JSON and XML parsing, data parameterization and more. Or analyze a web page and generate a load script automatically - no programming required. Server metrics - Install our lightweight monitoring agent on the servers you are load testing and get detailed information about resource utilization (CPU, memory usage, etc) on your machines during your load test Scenario recorders - Record an HTTP session using our proxy recorder or our Chrome Extension and let the simulated users perform the same actions during the test. Browser emulation - Configure your load test to emulate popular browsers such as Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari etc. or more exotic types of user agents such as GoogleBot Multi-geographic distribution of load - In a single test, we can generate load from up to 10 different locations simultaneously. We can add even more locations upon request. Continuous Delivery testing - Use our Continuous Integration plugins (TeamCity and Jenkins) for easy implementation or our raw access API and SDKs (Java and Python) for greater control and flexibility. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **5.0/5** | 3 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 5.0/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.0/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 5.0/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.0/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Load Impact - **Location**: Stockholm, Sweden ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: US$299,00 - **Pricing model**: Per User (Free version available) (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: Monthly Subscriptions: 250 concurrent users, 5 tests per month - $0/month; 1000 concurrent users, 30 tests per month - $299/month; 3000 concurrent users, unlimited testing - $699/month; 8000 concurrent users, unlimited testing - $1299/month; +8000 concurrent users, unlimited testing - Request quote Pay-per-test: Purchase a test whenever the need arises.

I have used this application under multiple environments. I have used this to test some 3rd party API's and couple of websites. It comes with attractive automation functionalities. Support multiple 'cl technologies'. I can execute daytoday load test executions in my local machine and complex executions with load impact cloud.I can simply automate my workflow without any delays. > > **Cons**: It's better if they can provide cross browser testing feature with this application. Because it's better if we can execute testings with different browsers. > > I have woked with multiple development projects in past few years. So i have good experience with couple of nunfuntional testing tools. load impact is one of them. ----- ### "Easy and well done load testing tool" — 5.0/5 > **Chris Andre** | *04 July 2014* | Computer & Network Security > > **Pros**: Incredible easy to get started Free (up to 5 free stress tests) Innovative and very cool proxy feature Nice graphs and pictures Able to spread load coming from different locations and source IP's Has an agent you can use to pick up server data > > **Cons**: A bit lacking help sections on the different parts of the website and tool. > > I very much like the Load Impact stress testing tool. It is very easy to set up, very easy to configure to do specific use cases and overall just a high quality tool which I can imagine can be used by anyone. Load Impact comes with 5 free stress tests. I hit my 5$ DigitalOcean droplet with Load Impact and I managed to crash the mysqld daemon two times running at around 28 concurrent users. Load Impact very easily showed me that both memory and CPU was peaked on my box, and also precisely showed me the max concurrent users my platform would allow. Via a chrome extension you can very easily create use case script for Load Impact. Just configure your browser to navigate through Load Impact and they will record everything you do through your own solution and create a script for it. This allowed me to create use cases specifically for some parts of my websites, e.g. for searching, navigation and more. ----- ### "Easy to use load testing tool" — 5.0/5 > **Weiliang** | *01 March 2011* > > **Pros**: On demand, relatively cheap > > **Cons**: Has a upper limit of 5000 concurrent users simulation > > Really easy to deploy load testing solution. Unlike software base solution, Load Impact is on demand. ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/10147/load-impact-load-testing-tool) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
