Case Study: Safran achieves standardised load testing and improved intranet reliability with NeoLoad from Neotys

Safran standardises load testing of its web applications with NeoLoad from Neotys

Safran, a French multinational leader in aerospace, defence and security with about 62,500 employees and €13.6 billion in 2012 revenue, needed to ensure high performance for dozens of internal web applications—most notably its group intranet “Insite” used by tens of thousands of staff. During a project to consolidate multiple company intranets and integrate a new group directory, Safran found its existing load-testing tool lacked the scale, features and technology support required to validate performance and meet delivery deadlines.

In April 2012 Safran adopted NeoLoad from Neotys for its intuitive interface, broad technology support and responsive technical support. NeoLoad enabled extreme test campaigns (simulating around 4,000 simultaneous high-intensity users), revealed page response-time bottlenecks, and helped teams fix issues so the consolidated intranet and directory went live on schedule in September 2012. The project’s success led Safran to create a group-level in-house testing unit using NeoLoad as the standard, improving service levels and quality assurance across web applications.
