1. A method comprising:

  • load testing a website with a plurality of virtual users simulated by a plurality of load servers that execute a test composition on one or more webpages of the website;

    computing, as the test composition executes, by each of the load servers, aggregated test results in real-time from execution of the test composition on the website, the aggregated test results including statistics calculated by an embedded component of each load server, the statistics including an average response time;

    aggregating, as the test composition executes, the aggregated test results in real-time by one or more analytic servers to produce aggregated test metrics for all the virtual users;

    providing, as the test composition executes, an analytic dashboard with a graphical user interface (GUI) that outputs the aggregated test metrics in real-time in an active waterfall chart, the active waterfall chart displaying information for a series of actions that occur when a virtual user accesses a particular webpage, the information including a statistical time to get an object, file, or resource of the particular webpage across the plurality of virtual users, each action being displayed on a separate row that extends horizontally across a timeline of the active waterfall chart, the information displayed on the active waterfall chart changing in real-time as the test composition progresses.
