Most teams use load testing only for performance or stress tests. But they can also help uncover infrastructure issues early. Read on to see how load tests can help make your entire system more resilient at its foundation. By Dennis Martinez.
When discussing load testing, two immediate thoughts come to mind for most developers and testers: validating application performance and putting systems under immense pressure. Testing for both of these use cases is vital for any modern software development workflow.
The content of the article focuses on the following 3 areas:
- Use load testing to ensure your infrastructure configuration works as expected
- Use load testing to test the resiliency of your hardware
- Use load testing to verify your serverless applications
Load testing can also become a powerful tool for developers, testers, and anyone responsible for your application’s resiliency. Applications are becoming highly complex with more moving parts, and we need to do our best to deliver a high-quality solution from top to bottom. Teams usually employ load testing for obtaining performance metrics or stress-test an application’s capacity, but as this article discusses, it can assist with a lot more. Good read!
