Load Testing

What is Load Testing?

Load testing checks how the application performs under expected, real-world user loads, verifying that response times remain acceptable.

Key Aspects Verified

• Response times under normal and peak expected traffic.
• Server resource usage (CPU, memory, database connections) under load.
• Whether the system meets defined performance benchmarks or SLAs.

Why It Matters

Load testing helps confirm the application can handle its expected user base without degrading performance or crashing.
