How are virtual users (VUs) determined for a test?

Device calibration is conducted to determine the optimal Virtual User Distribution (VUD) value for the number of Virtual Users per load injector server. Factors such as device tasks, complexity, and required CPU resources are considered. For HTTP/S Tests the range is 8 to 500 users, for Web Page/Web Application Tests it is 2 to 8 users, and for Web Applications with Rich Internet Application (RIA) image validation it is 2 to 5 users.

Why is calibration for load testing HTTP URLs and web applications different?

Testing web applications involves rendering a web page within a genuine browser environment, which demands more system resources from the load injector compared to merely sending GET or POST requests to the web server. This is what distinguishes LoadView from basic HTTP ping tools.

What pricing plan should I choose?

Subscription Plans are ideal for tests over $200 and organizations with ongoing testing needs or frequent development cycles, offering fixed-rate monthly or annual billing with rollover of unused resources. The On-Demand Plan is perfect for sporadic testing with minimal virtual users and short durations, with pay-as-you-go flexibility and no fees for unused resources.

How does the 90-day money-back guarantee function?

If you choose to cancel your LoadView subscription within 90 days, you will only be charged for the months of service used at the standard month-to-month list price, along with any utilized Professional Services hours ($150/hour). Any remaining balance will be refunded.

Can LoadView handle API testing?

Yes, LoadView's API testing tools can handle any scenario for API testing.
