OctoPerf
OctoPerf is a cloud-based and on-premise software platform used for performance testing, including load and stress testing of web applications and APIs. The platform is designed to help organizations evaluate application scalability, reliability, and behaviour under high traffic conditions.[1][2][3][4][5]
History
OctoPerf was co-founded by former colleagues working in the load testing industry in France in 2016 to make performance testing more accessible through a cloud-native approach.[6][7] The company focuses on simplifying the design and execution of performance tests without requiring complex on-premises infrastructure.[2]
Services
OctoPerf provides a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and on-premise performance testing platform that enables users to simulate large volumes of virtual users on applications and APIs.[7] The platform supports load testing, stress testing, and endurance testing using a distributed cloud infrastructure.[8]
Users can create test scenarios through scripting or browser-based recording, allowing both technical and non-technical users to design tests.[9] OctoPerf integrates with continuous integration and DevOps tools to support automated performance testing workflows.[3]
Technology
The OctoPerf platform uses a cloud-first architecture that allows tests to be executed from multiple geographic regions and is based on JMeter.[10][11][12]
Partnerships and integrations
OctoPerf has established partnerships with software testing and quality assurance companies to extend its platform integrations.[13]
It integrates with Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic, Prometheus, Jenkins, Apache Maven, Inflectra, an Katalon, to mention a few.[4][14][15][16]
Recognition
Octoperf has often been compared with JMeter and NeoLoad, and has been acknowledged by academics.[15][16][17] Octoperf has been featured in software testing conferences and professional testing publications.[18][19]
