Capabilities
Automated performance testing built around release risk
Measure the signals that matter for a specific change, compare them with an approved baseline, and surface regressions before they reach users.
Release baselines and performance budgets
Measure page speed, Web Vitals, API latency, throughput, and error rates. Compare each run with an approved baseline and flag regressions that exceed configured release thresholds.
Controlled load, stress, and spike profiles
Model expected traffic, gradual ramps, sudden spikes, and sustained load within configured safety limits. Run only against environments and endpoints your team has authorized.
Targeted performance regression checks
Use changed pages, services, and endpoints to focus performance testing where a release introduces risk instead of repeating an unrestricted full-system run.
How it works
How the performance testing agent works
Define the target, trigger a controlled run, and make the release decision from measurable results.
1. Define targets and budgets
Select authorized web journeys and API endpoints, then configure traffic profiles, performance budgets, thresholds, and the baseline version for comparison.
2. Run on every important change
Trigger targeted performance checks from CI/CD, a deployment webhook, an API call, a manual request, or a recurring schedule.
3. Review and gate the release
Compare results with the baseline, inspect bottleneck evidence, and notify, approve, or block according to your team's release policy.
Evidence
Performance evidence developers can investigate
Every result explains what changed, where the slowdown appeared, and which configured threshold was crossed.
Baseline and trend comparisons
See current and previous measurements together, including the absolute and percentage change for latency, throughput, errors, and relevant Web Vitals.
Bottleneck-level findings
Identify slow pages, endpoints, and transactions with timing details and linked diagnostic data when supported integrations are available.
Portable performance reports
Share pass, fail, and skipped checks with run configuration, thresholds, timestamps, and supporting measurements in the formats your delivery workflow accepts.
Platform
One controlled platform for every specialist agent
Deploy, trigger, govern, and connect the performance testing agent with the same controls available across the TestCollab agent directory.
Self-hosted with an open-source model
Use the managed service or deploy inside your VPC or on-premises with an approved open-source model, keeping sensitive inputs and results within your chosen environment.
Webhook or scheduler triggers
Launch checks from deployment and pull request webhooks, CI/CD, API calls, manual requests, or a recurring schedule.
Safe access to private environments
Reach staging sites, internal applications, and protected APIs with scoped credentials, network allowlists, and read-only defaults where applicable.
Custom rules and thresholds
Start with built-in checks, then add team-specific rules, severity levels, exclusions, thresholds, and release policies.
Change-aware execution
Use code diffs, changed services, requirements, and risk labels to prioritize the checks most relevant to a release.
Evidence with every finding
Capture pass, fail, and skip results with applicable screenshots, video, logs, traces, differences, and source locations.
Human-controlled release gates
Choose whether a finding informs the team, opens a defect, waits for approval, or blocks a release.
Connected delivery workflow
Send results and evidence to TestCollab, Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Slack, and CI/CD workflows without creating a separate review queue.
Audit-ready history and portable results
Retain configurations, model versions, runs, overrides, and approvals, with portable JSON, JUnit, SARIF, or PDF output where applicable.
FAQ
Answers teams look for
What can the performance testing agent test?
It can evaluate configured web journeys and API endpoints under synthetic browser and traffic conditions. Typical measurements include latency, throughput, error rate, page speed, and Web Vitals.
Can it run load, stress, and spike tests?
Yes. Your team defines the traffic pattern, concurrency, duration, rate limits, and authorized targets. Guardrails should be configured before running against any shared or production environment.
Does it replace production monitoring or capacity planning?
No. It provides repeatable pre-release and scheduled performance checks. It complements, but does not replace, real-user monitoring, application performance monitoring, production capacity planning, or expert analysis.
Does a passing result guarantee production performance?
No. Synthetic results reflect the configured environment, data, traffic profile, and thresholds. Production traffic and infrastructure can behave differently, so teams should combine these checks with monitoring and human review.
