Load Testing for Engineers

Use your existing code to power your load tests, so you don't repeat yourself.

See our Documentation for more details.

Differences between BrowserUp and other tools:

• BrowserUp runs your asset and code libraries.
• Because this isn't an import it doesn't create a second implementation to maintain in a script for HTTP, or in some other language.
• No correlation, No stale-capture mistakes, No weird web IDEs, No weird scripting languages, No weird DSLs, No bespoke test framework to learn.
• Your code repo becomes the source of truth.
• If you're using browser tests, use your page objects. As soon as they are ready, so is your load test.
• If you're using API tests, use your programmatic REST client, or PostMan. As soon as it is ready, so is your load test.
• By using assets created early in the release cycle, load testing shifts left. Faster feedback means you release sooner.

BrowserUp's instrumented containers collect your performance stats for you, without a separate load test scripting step.

Oh, One More Thing:

For any browser-based test, get Core Web Vitals metrics from your existing tests, with no extra code or work.
