Load Testing

Summary

Load testing is a non-functional testing technique that simulates real-world load on software applications to evaluate performance and behavior under expected conditions.

Detailed Description

Load testing is used to determine how an application behaves when subjected to a specific expected load. This type of testing can be done prior to rollout, healing issues before final delivery, or to stress-test an application on a live environment during peak usage to ensure that systems can handle high traffic without performance degradation.
