Can we perform load/stress tesing using new relic tool?

Question

We have a requirement to perform stress testing on website for 1000 concurrent users. Is it possible using new relic (without use of jmeter)?

Answer 1

New Relic is a tool for monitoring applications (on the server and the end-user experience), transactions, and servers. You could use it to measure the effects of a large load, but it doesn't apply the load.

You could use something like Blitz, SOASTA, Cloud Assault, or BlazeMeter to apply load and run tests.

Answer 2

Yes it is possible. But if you have 1000 users i think you must use any hosting which provides cloud servers. I used Blazemeter and after testing i had very good reporting. I used their tutorial about new relic plugin
