Gatling vs LoadNinja: What are the differences?

1. Protocol Support: Gatling primarily supports HTTP and Websocket protocols, whereas LoadNinja provides support for a wide range of protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket, web services, and FTP. 2. Scripting Language: Gatling uses Scala as its scripting language, which may require familiarity with the language, while LoadNinja allows users to create and customize test scripts using an easy-to-use, codeless script editor. 3. Cloud-Based Testing: LoadNinja offers a cloud-based solution for testing, allowing for easy scalability and resource management, whereas Gatling requires users to set up and manage their own infrastructure for load testing. 4. Real-Time Performance Metrics: LoadNinja provides real-time performance metrics and analytics during the test execution, enabling users to monitor and analyze the test results immediately, while Gatling requires users to manually analyze the test results post-execution. 5. Browser-Based Load Testing: LoadNinja offers browser-based load testing, allowing users to simulate realistic user interactions on a web application, while Gatling focuses on server-side load testing without the ability to simulate client-side interactions. 6. Pricing Model: Gatling is an open-source tool with a free version available, while LoadNinja offers a subscription-based pricing model with various plans tailored to different testing needs.

In Summary, Gatling is a server-side load testing tool with limited protocol support and scripting language options, whereas LoadNinja offers a comprehensive solution with support for various protocols, real-time metrics, browser-based testing, and a cloud-based infrastructure.

      Gatling is a highly capable load testing tool. It is designed for ease of use, maintainability and high performance. Out of the box, Gatling comes with excellent support of the HTTP protocol that makes it a tool of choice for load testing any HTTP server.
