Case Study: eBay achieves 52% performance gains with RadView WebLOAD

eBay load tests SAP Business Objects to achieve 50% performance gains

eBay, a global e‑commerce marketplace with nearly 100 million active users, faced performance complaints across multiple locations for its SAP Business Objects reporting environment. The Global Enterprise Technology team also needed to validate a new distributed architecture with load balancing and ensure the platform could support future user growth after a standard load tool failed to record/replay SAP effectively.

The team used RadView’s WebLOAD to run distributed load and stress tests from North America and Europe, which identified performance issues and errors. After architecture and hardware enhancements, eBay achieved about a 52% average performance gain, established benchmarks, and implemented periodic regression testing to ensure the system supports the expected user load.
