# Loadmill Overview

Loadmill helps teams create, run, and manage automated tests across mobile apps, web interfaces, APIs, and performance scenarios. Start with the testing approach that matches the behavior you need to validate; the different approaches can be used independently or combined as your coverage grows.

## Droid mobile testing

Droid is Loadmill's AI-powered mobile testing agent. Describe a user journey in natural language and Droid operates the app from the visible screen, producing reusable tests that can run from the desktop app, CLI, or CI.

## API-first end-to-end testing

Capture the API traffic created by real user behavior and turn it into stable end-to-end test flows. API-first tests are useful for validating business processes quickly and repeatedly without relying on the UI for every run.

## Web UI and hybrid testing

Use Playwright or the UI Agent to validate browser behavior. Combine UI steps with API requests in the same flow when you want realistic browser coverage with faster, more deterministic setup and validation.

## Performance testing

Reuse API scenarios as performance tests to validate throughput, concurrency, response times, and system behavior under load.
