Testing Oracle Applications: Traditional Load Testers vs Load Testing with AppLoader on Oracle Applications

Oracle Application Testing

The load tester that you use will ultimately determine how successful your load tests on your Oracle applications will be. The right load tester will give you high-quality data that you can use to identify what stresses cause your application to underperform. This allows you to make the necessary adjustments to your application before going live, which avoids all kinds of negative consequences from having an application that does not give its users what they need.

Failing to select the right load tester for your Oracle applications means that you have no way of knowing whether or not your applications will perform the way that they are supposed to under stress. A poor performing application means lost productivity, unserved customers and a hit on your bottom line.


So what kind of load tester on the market today will allow you to avoid having a poor performing application? Most load testers on the market today are notorious for being expensive and slow. The costs add up quickly when you consider the cost of purchasing the load tester, the costs associated with setting up each test along with the insane licensing and consulting fees that oftentimes come with these load testers.

Many load testers on the market today can take months to set up and execute even simple load tests, which is an unacceptable delay for critical applications. Their flexibility is limited, which means that you can only perform a limited number of load tests for your expected loads. If your application ends up experiencing more stress when it actually goes live, you will have no way of knowing whether or not it will perform.

Many companies shy away from load testing altogether because most load testers have these fatal flaws.

An alternative to these traditional load testers is AppLoader. AppLoader is a simple but powerful piece of software. Unlike the other load testers on the market today, you avoid the hefty fees because it is so simple to set up and execute. AppLoader’s affordability makes it an appealing load tester to businesses of all sizes.

Another reason why AppLoader compares favorably to these other load testers is that AppLoader is efficient. Load tests that take months to set up and execute with other load testers take hours with AppLoader. This minimizes the amount of time that you have to delay the launch of your application.

AppLoader tests from the end-user’s perspective, which means that you get the most realistic performance data that you possibly can from each load test. Unlike other load testers that test from the end-user’s perspective, this data is presented to you in easy to interpret charts and graphs which quickly direct you to where the problem areas are.

It is protocol independent, so it works just as well on Oracle applications as it does on any other type of application that your company or organization uses.

AppLoader ‘s power and affordability distinguishes it from the other Oracle load testers on the market today. It is a great product that will help you launch your next critical Oracle application with confidence.
