Case Study: BARMER achieves continuous performance testing and 45x more frequent load tests with Tricentis NeoLoad

Barmer Statutory Health Insurance Fund increases performance test frequency 45x with Tricentis NeoLoad

Barmer, one of Germany's largest statutory health insurance funds, faced a challenge ensuring its critical digital services remained stable under heavy load. Their existing performance testing tool could not keep up with the increasing demands of their agile development processes and frequent releases. To address this, they turned to the vendor Tricentis and implemented its NeoLoad solution for continuous performance testing.

By using Tricentis NeoLoad, Barmer's team gained codeless test design and real browser testing capabilities, which dramatically increased their efficiency. The solution enabled them to implement continuous testing, resulting in a 45x increase in the number of performance tests conducted per year. Test script maintenance became twice as fast, and test coverage improved by up to 50%, ensuring stable software releases and higher confidence in application quality.
