Keep your server awake while you are sleeping!
Today, we launched a new Load Impact premium feature - scheduled tests. You can now configure a test that is run at some specific time in the future, or you can configure it to run once every day, or once every week.
This functionality is useful to people who want to run a load test during low-traffic hours (often in the middle of the night, or early mornings) but who don't want to sit up and press the "start" button at the desired time.
It is also good if you want to run the same load test repeatedly, maybe once a week, to get a history of the performance of your site.
Scheduled tests are accessed through a new option in the main menu
The test scheduling screen shows your currently scheduled tests, and lets you schedule new ones. Note that if you schedule repeating tests, your account will accumulate test results over time. As an account can only have a certain number of test results stored, you get may choose to have new scheduled tests delete old test results, if necessary, to make room on your account.
