ReadyAPI Performance Licenses
Load testing is available to all product users.
The Base load testing functionality is available for free to any user who has a ReadyAPI license (for instance, base load testing features are available for ReadyAPI Test users).
ReadyAPI Performance licenses allow you to use all ReadyAPI load testing features.
For information on differences between the licenses, see the Differences Between Base and ReadyAPI Performance Licenses section.
Licensing Virtual Users
Each ReadyAPI Performance license determines the maximum number of virtual users (VUs) that your load tests can simulate:
License | VUs |
|---|---|
Base | 10 |
Pro Trial | 25 |
Pro commercial licenses | 100 (for the bundle license), 250, 1000, and more NoteThis depends on the license. See license offerings on the SmartBear website. |
If you add more concurrent virtual users to your test than your license supports, ReadyAPI queues the “extra” virtual users in a queue and simulates them only if the license allows. If you experience this behavior, consider upgrading your license to another one that supports a greater number of simultaneous virtual users.
