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: View all historical runs of a test in one place.
Compare View: Directly compare two test runs side by side.
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.
Testing infrastructure changes (e.g., scaling, new servers, load balancing adjustments).
Identifying regressions after a code deployment.
Fine-tuning test configurations to improve accuracy.
By leveraging LoadForge’s test history and comparison tools, you can continuously optimize your application and ensure it scales effectively under load.
