Q-Load: ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Load and Performance Testing
Q-Load anticipates how your system or application will behave under different load scenarios.
Load and performance testing subjects the system to high workloads, simulating real user activity. These tests help predict application behavior, ensuring it performs its functions without interruptions while maintaining optimal and stable response times.
Too often, organizations only validate expected usage scenarios. However, the most severe issues arise when the system must cope with unexpected traffic peaks. Performance degradation at these moments can result in significant financial losses and harm the user experience. With Q-Load, we recommend executing tests across multiple load scenarios — from everyday usage to extreme stress — to ensure availability, scalability, and customer satisfaction.
Q-Load: Flexibility, Accreditation, Global Support
Flexibility and Control with Q-Load
With Q-Load, you can select the type or combination of load and performance tests you need. You also gain full visibility into the testing process, from preliminary to final results, with detailed reports and actionable metrics.
International Accreditation ISO/IEC 17025
Our Performance Testing Laboratory is accredited under ISO/IEC 17025, the international standard that ensures our results are precise, reliable, and comparable to those of any accredited laboratory worldwide. This guarantees the technical validity of each test we deliver.
Expert Global Support
With Q-Load, we provide support regardless of your location. Our highly skilled engineers apply advanced methodologies and state-of-the-art hardware and software infrastructures. We commit to clearly defined Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to ensure confidence and transparency.

Load Testing
Assesses how a system behaves as workload increases. It determines the number of concurrent users or transactions the system can support while maintaining stable performance.
Performance Testing
Measures application response under expected load volumes. For example, validating response times when 20, 200, or 2,000 users access the system simultaneously.
Stress Testing
Pushes the system beyond its expected limits to identify the breaking point. Stress tests determine at what point (in terms of data volume, response time, or concurrent users) the application stops responding properly.
Key Questions Q-Load Helps You Answer:
-
How does the number of concurrent users affect system performance?
-
How many simultaneous users can my application or website handle without service degradation?
-
Where are the bottlenecks in my infrastructure?
-
What is the maximum load point my system can support?
Frequently Asked Questions about Q-Load
What is the difference between load, performance, and stress testing?
-
Load testing: evaluates how the system behaves as concurrent users or transactions increase.
-
Performance testing: validates response times and throughput under expected loads.
-
Stress testing: pushes the system beyond its limits to identify the breaking point and maximum stable capacity.
Why is ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation important?
It ensures validated methods, precise and comparable results, and the technical reliability of every test performed by our laboratory.
When should I run load and performance tests?
Before a go-live, during cloud migrations, seasonal peaks (e-commerce campaigns, events), architecture changes, user growth, or when strict SLAs must be guaranteed.
How do you ensure data security and privacy during testing?
We use controlled environments, masked data where required, and NDAs. We follow best practices in security and evidence logging.
