 ===== Load testing with Runtime Servers ===== ===== Load testing with Runtime Servers =====
 +
 +To generate a lot of load on AUT, you may need to run many instances of //TestOptimal// servers, which makes it harder to manage and control the load testing session.
 +
 +//Runtime// server is a licensed edition of //TestOptimal// server that can be managed by [[../server_manager | SvrMgr]] for large scale load / stress testing.
 +
 +[[../server_manager | SvrMgr]] also provides a central model deployment repository and model execution stats collection for all //Runtime// servers.  
 +
 +//Runtime// servers can be running on different OS or even on the cloud.
 +
 +
 +By using //TestOptimal// REST APIs, you can also build a concurrent model (model that uses Concurrent [[../sequencers | sequencer]]) to orchestrate model executions on //Runtime// servers (via [[../server_manager | SvrMgr]]) and thus automate your load testing by simply running the orchestration model.

 ===== Load testing with cloud-based services ===== ===== Load testing with cloud-based services =====
  
 +There are cloud-based testing services for web application testing.  These cloud-based services offers an alternative to managing different OS and browser and even mobile device testing.
 +
 +Below is a few example of such services:
 +  * [[https://saucelabs.com/ | SauceLabs]]
 +  * [[https://www.browserstack.com/ | BrowserStack]]
 +
 +To connect to these services, you would use [[../plugins#webdriver_plugin | WebDriver plugin]] using the APIs provided by the online service provider.

 The first step in load testing is to determine the type of loads and how much you wish to exercise on AUT. Typically you would already have suite of models created for functional testing of AUT. These models when executed generates a specific type of loads on AUT. The first step in load testing is to determine the type of loads and how much you wish to exercise on AUT.
