Large-scale API testing with parallel requests

Parallel requests involve executing multiple API requests simultaneously within a testing or development environment. This approach aims to improve the efficiency of operations by executing requests concurrently, enabling faster data retrieval or task completion. In the context of API testing, parallel requests are particularly valuable for assessing an API’s performance, scalability, security, and responsiveness under heavy loads. By sending multiple requests at the same time, testing frameworks can simulate real-world scenarios where numerous users or systems interact with the API simultaneously. This method allows for potential bottlenecks, optimizations, and performance enhancements to be identified, ensuring that the API can handle the demands of concurrent usage in production environments.

Large-scale API testing, in this context, refers to a testing approach where a significant number of API requests are executed simultaneously...
