AGENDA

    Load testing is a type of performance testing. It is the process of checking the behavior of the system under the expected load (simulates real-life application load).

Load testing checking the system for good performance and non-functional requirements.

Load testing

•  conducting the anticipated load in terms of virtual users or requests per second.

•   comparing actual metrics (response time, throughput, percentage of errors, resource usage, etc.) with the expected metrics.

• deciding whether the current build is ready to go or not.

Load testing consists of

       Consider the end-user experience every step of the way:

This means you should create realistic test cases or scenarios (both positive and negative) based on different scenarios, browsers and devices.

      Run load tests early and regularly: running load tests early and regularly—rather than waiting until your software development project is nearly complete—can help developers source and fix coding issues quickly throughout the entire web application production lifecycle.

Load testing best practices

       Determine your metrics: there is no standard checklist of metrics, as it will depend on the application. However, there are some common criteria: response time, resource utilization (CPU, memory, disk), error count, maximum user capacity.
