- Definition and Purpose:
- Load testing is a type of performance testing.
- It simulates realistic user activity on a system to measure its performance under normal and peak loads.
- It helps identify bottlenecks, scalability issues, and determine if the system can handle expected loads.
- It is crucial for ensuring that the system functions properly under heavy load conditions.
- Types of Load Testing
- Stress Testing.
- Capacity Testing.
- Volume Testing
- Load Testing Process
-
- Test Planning
- Test Design
- Test Execution
- Test Analysis
- Test Reporting
- Benefits of Load Testing
- Ensures optimal performance under expected and peak loads.
- Identifies and resolves bottlenecks and performance issues.
- Helps improve the system’s scalability and reliability.
- Enhances the user experience by minimizing response time.
- Mitigates the risk of system failures and downtime.
- Increases confidence in the system’s ability to handle loads.
