Case Study: Sonic Healthcare achieves up to 30% faster response times and increased throughput with Neotys NeoLoad

Sonic Healthcare - Customer Case Study

Sonic Healthcare is an international, medically led diagnostics and services group employing 32,000 people across multiple countries. Faced with growing demand on a web-based eHealth application (over 1,400 concurrent users per server) and the need to simulate up to 5,000 real-world users for a load-balanced architecture, Sonic needed repeatable benchmarks for each release and better reliability than their homemade test drivers could provide.

They selected NeoLoad for its compatibility with technologies like GWT, Atmosphere and WebSockets, and for its cloud/local testing and CI-friendly capabilities. Using NeoLoad to benchmark major use cases (typically 1,500 concurrent users) and sizing scenarios, they uncovered optimizations, increased application throughput and achieved up to 30% better average response time for the new release—resulting in improved software quality, reduced risk and plans to integrate benchmarks into their continuous integration pipeline.
