Getting started with Maxoperf

Maxoperf turns ad hoc performance scripts into repeatable, reviewable tests with shared results. This guide takes you from a brand-new account to a finished run in a few minutes.

Before you start

Section titled “Before you start”

You need:

  • An account on Maxoperf and an invitation to a workspace, or your own new workspace.
  • A target URL or test script you are allowed to load.

Run the path end to end

Section titled “Run the path end to end”

  1. Sign in to the console and pick the workspace and project you want the test to live in. If you do not have a workspace yet, create one — most teams start with one per organization. See Accounts, workspaces, and projects.

  2. Create your first test. From the project page, click New test. Give it a clear name and a short description so future teammates know what it covers.

    The New test form. Fill in the name and description, then move down to the scenario, load, and location sections.

  3. Choose a small load profile. For a first run, keep the virtual-user count and duration small. The goal is to prove the scenario works, not to find the breaking point.

  4. Pick locations. Use a managed cloud location for public targets, or a private location for internal systems. See Managed and private load locations.

  5. Start the run. Maxoperf provisions runners and starts generating load. Watch the live results page as latency, throughput, and errors stream in.

  6. Read the result. When the run finishes, open the run detail page to inspect latency percentiles, error breakdowns, and runner health. Add tags or notes so the next run is easy to compare. See Read run results and logs.

    Run detail Overview tab — status, latency, throughput, and virtual users at a glance once the run finishes.

What to do next

Once your first run is green, decide what kind of test workflow your team wants:
