Testing website functions

Hi SmartBear community,

new memeber here! and a new user to LoadUI. I need to know if it is possible to run a website's function with LoadUI. I have a website and I need to run a function implemented on the website by 10 then 20, 30 etc users to test for the function's performance and find out it's bottleneck. To do so I need LoadUI to input data in fields, select items in combo box and click buttons. Is this possible using LoadUI?

    LoadUI doesn't test the GUI. It tests the API/webservices (which is what's called when you click a button, etc.). So in that sense, LoadUI supports this (using the SoapUI Runner).

    No, but using SoapUI and LoadUI, you can test the API that the GUI connects to.
