Introduction

This guide will be a useful reference for all performance testing professionals who are trying to determine which performance testing software they should use for their cloud-based applications.

This guide will also help clarify the key features and capabilities that performance testers look for when trying to determine how to select a cloud performance vendor .

Although your organization may place a higher priority in some areas over others, we want to establish common criteria for evaluating cloud performance testing applications.

The first section of this guide will take you through the evaluation criteria we've created will help you understand why they are critical, why you need to look for them before purchasing cloud performance testing software, and how to evaluate actual products as a result.

The second section, Cloud Performance Testing Solutions , will leverage this criteria set and use them to analyze each of the most used tools. We'll then provide you with an overall perspective on how they all stack up against each other.
