Key takeaways
- Scheduled API load tests catch regressions that only appear after a deploy.
- Run them off-peak so the test does not compete with real traffic.
- Alert on threshold breaches; nobody reads a scheduled report.
Scheduling Load Tests feature is now available on LoadFocus.com.
Is Your Infrastructure Ready for Global Traffic Spikes?
Unexpected load surges can disrupt your services. With LoadFocus’s cutting-edge Load Testing solutions, simulate real-world traffic from multiple global locations in a single test. Our advanced engine dynamically upscales and downscales virtual users in real time, delivering comprehensive reports that empower you to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks before they affect your users.
Basically you can create new load tests and schedule them to run every day at a specific time. You can set a Start Date and leave End Data blank for infinite runs. Add an End Date to schedule load tests on specific intervals.
- run load tests automatically at specific intervals of time
- receive load tests results by having notifications sent to your account email address
Also, this gives the opportunity to run tests when you are not present in the test lab, such as over evenings or weekends. To understand the errors and response codes from the notification emails of the scheduled tests you can check the errors and response codes in load testing blog post.
You can use schedule feature for API Endpoints, Websites, Web Applications straight away. Enjoy!
Think your website can handle a traffic spike?
Fair enough, but why leave it to chance? Uncover your website’s true limits with LoadFocus’s cloud-based Load Testing for Web Apps, Websites, and APIs. Avoid the risk of costly downtimes and missed opportunities—find out before your users do!
Frequently Asked Questions
Why schedule load tests?
Because regressions arrive with deploys, and a test you run manually happens after someone already suspects a problem. A scheduled run finds it first.
When should they run?
Off-peak. A load test competing with real traffic degrades the experience you are trying to protect and produces numbers shaped by whatever else was happening.
How do I make the results matter?
Alert on threshold breaches. Nobody reads a scheduled report, so a run that only produces a chart quietly stops being useful within a month.
