Load Testing Definition
Load testing is the process of putting demand on a
system or device and measuring its response. Load
testing is performed to determine a system’s behavior
under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions.
It helps to identify the maximum operating capacity of
an application as well as any bottlenecks and determine
which element is causing degradation.
