What Has 47,000+ Thumbs And Now Offers Load & Performance Testing Services?
In the 18 months since our August 2008 launch, the name uTest has become synonymous with functional testing. We help companies hunt down and kill the bugs in every corner of their web, desktop or mobile apps. But a funny thing happened along the way: as our customers have grown (in number, in size, in technical sophistication), we’ve found ourselves getting pulled into QA-related conversations outside of just functional testing.
Among the most popular topics has been load & performance testing. Companies of all shapes and sizes have been asking for our advice; asking our opinions about various synthetic load tools; asking us what other companies are using; and ultimately, asking us to help them ensure their web apps are ready to perform under peak loads.
So after extensive research and a great deal of planning, uTest is ready to announce a new and better way to perform load testing on your web app. We’re offering three different flavors of load testing services:
- Live Load: A team of live testers from around the globe can test an application simultaneously, enabling customers to see how their web app performs under truly real-world usage conditions
- Simulated Load: Requiring no live testers, uTest’s simulated load testing provides customers with a complete analysis of a web app’s performance under peak synthetic load
- Hybrid Load: Combining live testers with best-of-breed simulated load tools, uTest’s hybrid load testing enables customers to perform functional testing while their web application is under heavy synthetic load
We think our approach to load testing is altogether unique and will be extremely valuable to companies of all types, but we’re also exceedingly biased. But our early load testing customers and the software testing pundits seem to agree:

- StickyMinds: uTest Launches Load & Performance Testing Services
We’ll update this post with more links as the news rolls in. Questions about how load testing works via a community of professional testers? Check out our load testing section for details. Or drop us a note and ask us anything.
