XTC Documentation

What is XTC?

XTC allows you to be ahead of performance and stability issues by using a centralized testing platform that offers fine-grained control, maximum scale, and a unique monitoring approach.

XTC (Xceptance Test Center) is an SaaS offering that delivers XLT as a service. It increases efficiency, lowers the time to test, and enables you to do all things you might have been doing manually before. It allows you to:

• manage your load test projects,
• set up, configure, and run load tests,
• evaluate load test runs and share the results, and
• run continuous monitoring using browser-based test automation.

XTC load and monitoring service are based fully on XLT, hence everything you know about load testing with XLT is still valid. Test development still takes place in your IDE and test suites live in your preferred GIT repo.

XTC helps you to speed up the more tedious tasks of load testing:

• It simplifies the test setup, allows to duplicate tests, comment on the setup as well as on the results.
• It starts and stops all agent machines for you. You only have to define where you want the agents to be placed and how many agent you need.
• It automatically starts and stops a test, collects all results, and creates a report.
• It allows to share a test result quickly either as a secret public link or within your project setup.
