An Introduction to Load Testing

In the previous chapter, we were looking at the go-to tools and techniques for measuring OmniStudio performance. In this chapter, we will look at load testing: tools, tips, and best practices available for simulating real-life load on the system. This will help us measure its capacity, performance, and scalability and get ready to handle expected customer demands.

In this chapter, you will learn about the following:

• Why should you consider running a load test on your OmniStudio app?
• How to load-test—critical information you will need during planning and execution
• Popular tools—available options and a hands-on introduction to Selenium and JMeter, the popular open source load-testing tools

We have a lot of ground to cover in this chapter, so let’s go ahead and begin by looking at why and how to plan and run load testing.

Note

Salesforce is a multitenant platform, so any kind of heavy load or stress testing...
