How to compare different test runs in LoadForge.
LoadForge makes it easy to compare test runs so you can track performance improvements, detect regressions, and analyze test history over time. There are two main ways to compare runs:
Runs Per Test View
The Runs Per Test page groups test runs by the specific test, allowing you to:
Use this view to spot trends. If Apdex scores or response times gradually degrade, your infrastructure may need optimization.
Side-by-Side Run Comparison
LoadForge also provides a side-by-side comparison feature to analyze two test runs in depth. By selecting “Compare” on a test run, you can:
The comparison table highlights differences in:
When comparing runs, focus on the trend lines rather than absolute numbers. A consistent pattern of improvement across multiple metrics is more meaningful than a single dramatic change in one area.
Visualizations such as response time graphs, request per second trends, and error rates over time help identify what changed between runs.
A significant drop in P95 response time indicates a major performance improvement. Conversely, if P95 increases, investigate bottlenecks.
Comparing runs is particularly useful when:
By leveraging LoadForge’s test history and comparison tools, you can continuously optimize your application and ensure it scales effectively under load.
