Case Study: BNP Paribas achieves up to 60% reduction in performance-test costs and guaranteed production performance with Neotys NeoLoad

BNP Paribas - Customer Case Study

BNP Paribas needed to validate the performance of a core banking solution as part of its Africa IS transformation program, ensuring batch processing, webservice exchanges and HMI response times met business requirements before production. Prior testing with Apache JMeter was time-consuming and struggled with complex scripts and the team’s need for better DevOps/Agile integration.

After an in-house benchmark the team adopted NeoLoad to test HTTP/HTTPS, REST/SOAP webservices, GWT and batch jobs. NeoLoad’s automation (automatic correlation, variabilization framework, structured transaction recording, saved result trees and configurable populations) streamlined script creation, execution and analysis. The move cut implementation costs by up to 60% versus JMeter and allowed BNP Paribas to validate performance ahead of production, increasing launch confidence and end-user satisfaction.
