Real-browser testing for performance

Simplify performance testing with the real-browser approach and approach them from a user point of view

 

When we think about performance testing, the words reliability, availability, elasticity, user-friendly, come to mind. Indeed, this is what we want to ensure for any software, website, web app in any scenario.

Thus, replicating real world conditions and user interactions with the product can help reach these key elements.

 

Following this approach, real browser performance testing is a method assessing the performance and user experience of a website or web app simulating real user interactions using actual web browsers.This helps to capture the most realistic performance data because different browsers may render web pages differently.

Learn more about this approach through exchanges with Philippe, Frédéric and Thomas who explain how to proactively address performance issues (linked to geographical, load times, network, etc.) and provide a better online experience for users, using real browser approach.

 

We led a webinar on this specific subject in partnership with Tricentis. During this session our experts talked about: 

 

  • Performance testing (Introduction & Fundamentals)
  • The challenges faced by testers and related to performance
  • Adopting a real browser approach (demonstration with Tricentis tool Neoload / Principles and benefits)

What types of applications require browser-based performance testing and what a combined approach that incorporates both protocol and browser-based performance testing should look like.
