Case Study: Office Depot achieves 66% reduction in scripting time and faster, more reliable load testing with Neotys' NeoLoad

With NeoLoad Office Depot has improved testing productivity through a reduction in scripting time and maintenance of test scripts by approximately 66%

Office Depot Europe, a leading reseller of workplace products with operations across many EU countries, was migrating legacy sites onto a single Hybris platform and needed a better load‑testing solution. After an initial pilot with JMeter exposed issues—limited reporting, stability under sustained load, a steep learning curve, and no easy Selenium or mobile client‑side testing—the QA team ran a technical Proof of Concept to select a tool that met their scripting, reporting and integration requirements.

They chose NeoLoad for its ease of script and scenario development, built‑in analysis and custom reporting, and integrations with Selenium and Jenkins. As a result Office Depot reduced scripting and maintenance time by about 66%, accelerated test execution within agile sprints, improved stakeholder reporting and earlier issue detection, and achieved better application stability; they plan to continue sprint testing and expand Jenkins/Selenium integration while cross‑training the QA team.
