Load Testing
In plain terms
Checking how a system behaves under expected load.
Going deeper
Load testing simulates realistic concurrent usage to verify performance and stability under normal-to-peak demand. It measures behavior at expected scale.
Under the hood
Reveals bottlenecks and capacity limits; distinct from stress testing's beyond-limit focus.
Examples
JMeter, k6, Gatling, performance validation, capacity planning.
Think of it like...
Like rehearsing a restaurant at a full dinner rush to ensure smooth service.
