Getting started with Maxoperf

A short path from first sign-in to a repeatable performance test: choose a workspace, create a test, run it, and review results.

Before you start

  • Access to the Maxoperf console.
  • Permission to test the target system.

Start with a safe target

Maxoperf is designed for authorized performance testing. Before creating a run, confirm that the target belongs to your team, that the environment can receive test traffic, and that the owner knows the planned window.

Choose the smallest useful workflow

For a first run, avoid a large production-scale profile. Pick one endpoint or journey, start with a low load profile, and prove the scenario works. After that, raise traffic deliberately and compare results across runs.

Learn the core surfaces

  • Workspaces keep teams, projects, tests, and runs organized.
  • Tests hold the scenario, files, data, secrets, and load profile.
  • Runs capture one execution and its results.
  • Results combine latency, throughput, errors, logs, and runner health.

FAQ

Do I need to expose a private system publicly?

No. Use managed locations for public targets and private runner locations for systems that should stay behind your network boundary.
