Thank you, Raphael, for coming up with an elaborate article on the basics of load testing. This is really helpful for beginners and for those who wish to pursue a career in testing. Applications are data-intensive, and a large amount of data is exchanged in order to provide a better user experience. Load testing aids in identifying any issues that may obstruct the application's smooth operation, as well as any bottlenecks that may emerge due to excessive load on the application's software. The application under test (AUT) is evaluated and reported on under a variety of predicted and unexpected loads. End user reaction times, as opposed to business operations, CPU, and memory data, are reported in a way. This allows application/website owners to see how their site performs in a live environment. Here are a few interesting articles on load testing that I found useful and shared them for the benefit of other readers - bit.ly/2T4IdNL
