High-Performance Load Testing Made Simple
VoltTest is a powerful, cross-platform performance testing framework that combines the ease of use of modern programming languages with the raw performance of Go. Our unique architecture enables developers to write intuitive test scenarios while leveraging Go's superior concurrency and performance characteristics for actual load generation.
- 📝 Write Once, Run Anywhere: Create tests in your preferred language with our SDKs
- ⚡ Go-Powered Engine: High-performance load generation with true parallel execution
- 🔄 Real-time Results: Live metrics and progress tracking during test execution
- 📊 Comprehensive Analytics: Detailed performance metrics and response time analysis
- 🌐 Cross-Platform: Supports Windows, Linux, and macOS
- 🎯 Developer-Friendly: Fluent APIs and intuitive test configuration
VoltTest uses a hybrid architecture where:
- SDKs provide developer-friendly APIs for test definition
- Go Engine handles the actual load generation and execution
- Communication Layer streams real-time results back to your application
This approach gives you the best of both worlds: easy test creation and maximum performance.
Write performance tests with PHP's familiar syntax and extensive ecosystem.
$test = new VoltTest('API Load Test', 'Testing user authentication flow');
$test->setVirtualUsers(100)
->setDuration('5m')
->setRampUp('30s');
$scenario = $test->scenario('User Login')
->autoHandleCookies();
$scenario->step('Login')
->post('/api/login', '{"email": "user@test.com", "password": "secret"}')
->header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
->extractFromJson('token', 'data.access_token')
->validateStatus('login_success', 200);
$result = $test->run(true);
echo "Success Rate: " . $result->getSuccessRate() . "%\n";
