We used Apploader for testing applications using Critix. It worked without any problems.

1. Easy to use 2. Scripting was straight forward 3. Reports and metrics were very useful 4. Support was very good

1. Needed help from support to fix an image issue

As a load and performance tester, my job is to find the peeks and performance failures in the clients' systems, and report them. I used AppLoader for more than 50 clients' projects, and the clients love the reports and graphs generated by the tool, as it helps them correct performance failures.

What I liked the most about AppLoader, is that it can test almost all types of applications (desktop, webservices, web applications...), you just need a human machine interface. I loved the reports generated by AppLoader and the easiness of launching parallel users at the same time. I also loved the instant reporting and the screenshots of the failures during the test. I enjoyed the easiness of using ScenarioBuilder to create the performance scenarios. The greatest thing about this software, and I am sure all AppLoader's users will answer the same, is the reactivity and quality of the support team. They are always available and reactive and very helpful in case of problems with the software.

What I liked the least about it, is its price. AppLoader is very expensive when comparing it to other tools for performance and load testing in the market. Therefore, it cannot be used by small sized companies.

It's good for low and med complex apps

AppLoader assists users to create simple scenarios and begin testing their applications right away.

can not enhance the scripts to require scalability

I am currently a load test engineer at Capgemini, and so we run large load campaigns to our clients' applications. Clients use different languages and different technologies in their applications, so we have to use a tool that fits to all that. AppLoader meets with what we and our customers want: automating the scenarios, setting up the test plan and running the test shots with the number of users that client wants; delivering high quality reports at the end of the load shots.

-AppLoader is very easy to understand and to use since each feature contains informations on what it means and how to use it, also when automating scenarios, the tool is very easy. -AppLoader can load test all types of applications and all types of languages since it's based on image recognition. -The quality of the report generated by the tool in the end of each load test shot. -The greatest thing about this software is the support, the support team is very efficient ; they are always available whenever we have an issue with the tool, they provide us with help, support and problem fixing.

-The software misses clicking on images or on buttons from time to time and it causes the scenario's failure. -Sometimes the tool exceeds the shot's execution time and has to be stopped manually.

AppLoader is a good software for organizations who wants to perform automated testing without spending too much time efforts. It offers no code development and performance testing to get the appropriate testing.

It's a great software for perform automatic testing without having knowledge of coding. The tool is very easy to use and provide best user interface.

Generally speaking that i haven't feel any disadvantage of the tool.
