HttpWatch vs. Loadster vs. Python vs. ReadyAPI Comparison Chart

Loadster is a load testing platform for websites, web applications, and APIs. Your site has a breaking point. Loadster can find it before your users do! Create realistic test scripts and play them back with thousands of virtual users to find bottlenecks, improve performance, and prevent crashes. Record load test scripts right in your browser, with the Loadster Recorder extension for Chrome or Firefox. Just step through your site like a real user would while Loadster records every step into a script. After recording, play your script back in real time, and edit it if necessary. It's simple to add custom validation and capture server responses to reuse later in the script. Configure your test scenario with groups of bots in regions of your choosing, running your scripts, ramping the load up and down, to simulate the geographically distributed traffic you see in the real world.

The ReadyAPI platform accelerates functional, security, and load testing of RESTful, SOAP, GraphQL and other web services right inside your CI/CD pipeline. ReadyAPI allows teams to create, manage, and execute automated functional, security, and performance tests in one centralized interface - accelerating API quality for Agile and DevOps software teams. Teams can get started by importing API definitions like OAS (Swagger) or WSDLs, testing and recording live API traffic, or virtualizing web services to remove pipeline dependencies. Create comprehensive, data-driven functional API tests without the hassle of maintaining scripts. Generate load, stress, and spike tests to validate whether your API can handle real-world traffic conditions. Secure your vulnerable APIs from XSS, malformed XML, SQL injections and more with each deployment. Remove dependencies in your testing pipeline by virtualizing RESTful, SOAP, TCP, JMS, and other web services.
