Sermo, Inc., based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is an online community where physicians can pose questions, share insights, and work together to improve patient care.

They have chosen to use Xceptance LoadTest throughout their development and testing process because of the many advantages XLT offers in terms of flexibility and support.

As a pure Java tool, XLT allows Sermo to leverage its existing development environment, Eclipse. At the same time, they are not limited to a single operating system, and can continue to use both MacOS and Linux. XLT is also able to handle JavaScript, including during load testing.

The simple and efficient licensing model allowed them to purchase a product scaled to their needs, without having to give up on fast and personal support when questions arise. Sermo engineers first worked with Xceptance consultants before taking over the testing, and Xceptance also built custom features based on Sermo’s requirements to better integrate XLT into Sermo’s development environment.

As the Sermo community continues to grow and Sermo enhances its platform with new features, they will be able to count on XLT to expand along with them.
