Tricentis Flood edit

Flood is SaaS load testing service that runs existing test scripts across a globally-distributed grid infrastructure. It was built with a shared nothing architecture and integrates with AWS and Azure. Users can generate over 1 million globally-distributed requests per second without manually setting up the associated infrastructure or correlating the distributed results. The service provides detailed analysis reports and real-time monitoring.[1] [2][3] [4] [5][6][7]

In July 2017, Flood IO was acquired by Tricentis and now goes by the name Tricentis Flood [6][3][5][7]

Ruby JMeter edit

Ruby JMeter is a RubyGem that lets users write test plans for JMeter in any text editor with an expressive domain-specific language for communication with JMeter. It also includes API integration with Flood.[2][8] Ruby JMeter is licensed as open-source software under the MIT License, which means it permits reuse within proprietary software provided that all copies of the licensed software include a copy of the MIT License terms and the copyright notice.

Flood Element edit

Flood Element is a load generation tool which uses the Google Chrome web browser to generate load on a web application by spawning thousands of browser instances and running a predefined test script to simulate a series of user interactions. Flood Element test scripts are written in TypeScript and follow a similar syntax to Selenium.
