Website load testing on a mobile device

I am trying to test web page performance on a mobile device. I know chrome dev tools can be used for mobile simulation but my requirement is that it should be tested on actual device. Is there any such tool available?

SOASTA CloudTest also supports the integration of API/Transport level virtual users with on-device virtual users in the same scenario

I am little confused about your question since in the title you mentioned load testing, but in the detail load testing is not mentioned at all. So, I'll try to answer both:

You can test mobile via emulation or real devices. If it is necessary to use real devices you can do it in two general ways:

  1. On premise tools such an Experitest.
  2. Using a cloud service like Perfecto Mobile, mobilelabsinc, amazon aws device farm.

You can test your application performance with these tools without any relation to load. That is, how fast they work on your device.

If you want to test your application performance and see its behavior on the device while loading your server then you need to add a load testing tool into your test. For example, HP/LoadRunner, RadView/WebLOAD has integration with Perfecto Mobile. I heard also that JMeter has an integration well – not sure.

In any case, during the load, the recommendation is that the majority of the back end server load will be created via mobile simulation, and add only a few real mobile devices to the party in order to measure the performance from the device itself – because using real devices will be expensive.

Full disclosure: I work for Radview.
