Every high-traffic or mission-critical website needs to be protected from the bad things that can happen on a heavier-than-usual usage day. The only way to check that a system has been built, configured, and sized correctly is to load test it before the big day. MyLoadTest On-Demand is the best way for a company to test their public-facing website, web application or web service.

What is MyLoadTest On-Demand?

MyLoadTest On-Demand is a next-generation consulting business. Leveraging automation much more heavily than a traditional professional services company, we can do a “consultant quality” load testing engagement for a typical web application much more efficiently. Traditional consultants are still the best option for projects with unusual technology stacks or when there is a requirement for an on-site presence. Despite giving customers the option of running load tests themselves via a self-service portal, MyLoadTest On-Demand differs from a pure SaaS business because our consultants are still intimately involved in every project.

Traditional Consulting Companies

Consulting and professional services companies exist to sell billable days. This motivates them to make their clients as dependent on them as possible – ideally, they would never leave. Creating self-service options or automating tasks makes no sense as it would cause them to sell fewer billable days.

MyLoadTest On-Demand

MyLoadTest On-Demand is halfway between a consulting service and a SaaS business. Many load testing activities can be streamlined with technology, but not everything can be automated. An expert still has to guide the process and work on the parts that require personal attention.

Software Vendors

Software companies exist to sell software – whether it is commercial software licenses, or software as a service. The problem with software that has a steep learning curve or a highly specialized body of knowledge is the quality of the output. Garbage in, garbage out.

Consulting companies are most suited to load testing situations where there is a short-term need, and a requirement for staff to be on-site. When the system under test is built with non-standard technologies, a highly experienced consultant is needed.

MyLoadTest On-Demand suits companies that want a more efficient consulting service, whether for a short-term project or as an ongoing service for a business-critical application. Optional self-service components help project teams re-run tests quickly if needed.

For a large company, it might make sense to build an internal load testing capability based around a commercial tool. A full-time multi-person team is expensive to create and manage, but it has advantages over relying on an ever-changing cast of consultants.
