Since we run a lot of marketing campaigns on our products, we don't have the exact user capacity requirements. After running the load test we can determine the capacity our backend can handle. Based on that, we can make sure that our infrastructure is optimized. It helps us to cater to on-demand capacity and load, which helps to keep in mind the response time or the performance of applications for the end-users. We don't move it during peak hours, because our response time in applications become slower and unresponsive, or they simply behave differently. 

Before moving to Soasta CloudTest, we had a performance testing tool deployed on-premise environment. Other than high licensing cost, this tool has limitation in simulating real user experience to generate load in different geographies, hence, reliable performance test results. 

Soasta CloudTest has added flexility in performance testing plan, achieving at low cost.

The cloud-based load test is a realistic load test.

I haven’t used it outside the CloudTest training. It is an option for Performance testing taken into consideration by my company.
