Addition of Flood to the 9-Box

We are happy to announce that Flood has been added as a feature to your qTest suite 9-box. 

Flood is a cloud-based load testing tool that gives users the flexibility to test with millions of concurrent users in just minutes, using a shared cloud or your own private cloud resources.

The results from these tests are aggregated into a real-time dashboard so you can investigate and pinpoint the root cause of performance problems as they occur.

With an open REST API, it is easy to Launch performance tests from any scheduling service like qTest Launch. Jenkins. or Bamboo so that performance testing can happen within your CI/CD pipeline. 

Flood is currently only available in the 9-box for OnDemand versions. This new feature will be available for OnPremise customers in a future release.

The following test frameworks can be executed within Flood:

  • JMeter

  • Gatling 

  • Flood Element

  • Selenium 

  • Tosca

As an exclusive for QASymphony customers, you have been granted 20 node hours which allows you to run a 1-hour test with up to 20,000 users.

Read here for more information on how to get started with Flood, or reach out to your customer success manager/sales representative for a quick start session.
