Build confidence
in every release

Ensure speed, stability, and scalability across your applications. Gatling embeds performance testing into QA workflows so your teams can deliver quality at scale.

Designed for quality engineers

Reduce release risk

Catch performance regressions before they impact users or revenue.

Scale QA efficiently

Automate performance validation in your pipelines, without expanding headcount or slowing releases.

Give stakeholders visibility

Share clear dashboards and SLA-driven reports with engineering and business teams.

Built for modern QA workflows

Gatling provides everything QA teams need to implement comprehensive performance testing strategies

Flexible test creation for every skillset

Start quickly with no-code builders or Postman imports, then scale to code-based testing in Java, JavaScript, or Scala. QA testers and developers can collaborate without friction.

Performance guardrails

Define SLA thresholds for latency, throughput, or error rates and automatically block builds that don’t meet your requirements.

CI/CD integration

Seamlessly plug Gatling into GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps and more to automate performance validation at every release.

Actionable analytics

Interactive dashboards and historical trends that QA leaders can share with dev, ops, and business stakeholders.

Protocol coverage

HTTP(S), WebSockets, gRPC, JMS, and more — ensuring QA can validate every part of the system under test.

"With Gatling Enterprise Edition, we can track our performance over time and allow our development teams to automate the scenarios and runs. Gatling enabled us to automate the performance impact assessment of new feature delivery continuously and before releases."

Advanced quality engineering use cases

How QA teams use Gatling to ensure application performance and reliability.

API performance testing

Validate REST and gRPC APIs under load to ensure fast, reliable responses across services.

Regression prevention

Run automated performance tests on every release to detect degradations before production.

Pre-production validation

Stress-test staging environments to validate readiness before go-live.

End-to-end workflow testing

Simulate complete user journeys (logins, searches, purchases, or transactions) under peak load.

Microservices an distributed systems testing

Test service-to-service communication, queues, and asynchronous workflows in modern architectures.

Capacity planning & optimization

Measure system limits, right-size resources, and provide data-driven recommendations for cost-efficient scaling.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about load testing for quality engineers

What is load testing in quality engineering?

Load testing in quality engineering validates that applications function correctly under expected workloads by simulating real user traffic and measuring response times, throughput, and error rates to catch performance issues before production.

What does a quality testing engineer do?

Quality testing engineers monitor all phases of software development to verify products meet requirements and standards by creating test plans, identifying bugs, validating fixes, and ensuring accuracy before launch.

Who performs load testing?

Developers, QA engineers, and performance testers perform load testing using tools like Gatling to optimize application performance, scalability, and capacity throughout the development cycle and CI/CD pipelines.

How does Gatling help quality engineers reduce release risk?

Gatling automates performance validation in CI/CD pipelines with SLA-driven thresholds that catch regressions before they impact users, providing actionable dashboards and historical trends that teams can share across engineering and business stakeholders.

Make quality a continuous practice, not a last-minute checkpoint.

Simulate millions of users. Catch bottlenecks early. Scale your infrastructure with confidence.
