When we started our company and got our first large customer, we had to choose between JMeter, SilkPerformer and LoadRunner. 1 was besides limited and the others were besides costly and tied to Windows. So we decided to build our own tool and address all the shortcomings we saw, specified as reporting, platform dependencies, and scale. We even had to change the name at 1 point due to the fact that our first thought was just stupid.
17 years later, we proceed to invest heavy in our tool, XLT. We run 150 projects a year with it and trust on its extended capabilities. And yes, it is open origin under the Apache licence and uses many another open-source components to which we besides contribute.
This talk will take you on a journey from the first ideas to the current state, including but not limited to costly mistakes, life-saving feature decisions, interesting insights, and all the things we learned just by writing a large tool.
The tool thrives due to the fact that it lives in the Java ecosystem. It saw migrations from Java 6 to 8 to 11 to 17, it uses libraries specified as HttpClient, Apache Commons, and HtmlUnit. It benefits from all the investments the Java community makes, and it is fast, due to the fact that Java is fast.
Of course, this is not a sales presentation, but alternatively a burden and performance investigating tool expedition. The talk will item real-world challenges and results. And possibly we will halt you from writing another tool, or possibly the opposite.
