Getting ready for load testing
Load testing is an exercise to validate the system's capability to handle expected peak load. The maximum number of concurrent requests that the system is expected to handle is known as the peak load. Load testing is performed by artificially generating a number of concurrent requests on the system using load testing tools. To begin with the load testing exercise, the first step would be to capture that load testing requirements.
Capturing load testing requirements
To perform load testing, we need to design load testing scenarios, set up load testing environments, and so on. Load testing scenarios heavily depend on load testing or performance-related requirements. Also, depending on the performance requirements, a load testing environment has to be set up. Here is a brief checklist to capture all load-testing-related requirements:
Concurrent users: It is very important to know the maximum amount of load that is expected on the system. It is measured by the number...
