Load testing tool

Forecast is a non-intrusive performance testing tool for system load testing, performance measurement and multi-user functional testing from Facilita. It exercises enterprise infrastructure by simulating thousands of clients performing real user actions.

Forecast can be used for performance testing complex networked IT systems and applications by using a combination of Forecast's components (Web, .Net, Java, Citrix and Database clients). Forecast has comparatively low hardware requirements and a small footprint enabling the support for thousands of Virtual Users on modest test equipment.

Facilita is a specialist product supplier based in UK. Unlike the other test tool providers covered in this section it provides a single test tool (Forecast) rather than an integrated suite of test tools for multiple purposes.
