In their own words
Apica LoadTest
Apica LoadTest creates, runs, and analyzes capacity and performance tests for web and cloud applications. Its workflow covers scripting, setup, building, execution, analysis, and reporting. Users can create or upload HTTP/S load-test scripts, select geographic test clusters, and work through a browser portal without local software downloads. The portal provides managed infrastructure, test execution and scheduling, reporting and analysis, and collaboration storage. Apica says its premium load test network supports tests of up to 2,000,000 concurrent users. Documentation also describes device testing for iPhone, Android, iPad, and Windows, including native mobile applications. Example integrations include AWS Code Pipeline, TeamCity, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps. LoadTest integrates with ZebraTester for exchanging scripts and results; ZebraTester can also run standalone on customer infrastructure. Apica offers full-service projects in which its experts design, script, and execute tests and work with customers on performance analysis and improvement. A blog page invites users to start a 30-day full-featured trial. The Self Service Portal is subscription-based by the month, but no price is listed.
