What is NeoLoad?
NeoLoad is a load and stress testing tool to measure the performance of the web application and provide pragmatic solutions facilitating design and development of the optimized website. The NeoLoad is owned, maintained and developed by a french company called Neotys.
The NeoLoad works by simulating traffic up to thousands of users in order to determine the performance of the web application under load, practically analyzing the response time and the number of the simultaneous users which the web application is able to handle.
How it works?
This flexible architecture allows you to plan a wide variety of tests, including those using very high loads.
The Controller
Provides a graphical interface from which the user can create and record scenarios, run tests and analyze the results. Executes the test by controlling the load generators' outputs. Monitors the Web infrastructure's various components without installing any agents on the server.

The Load Generator
Simulates users accessing the application being tested. Collects information on the application's performance. Can be deployed at no additional cost on as many machines as required.
