Load testing is checking system capabilities to tolerate high load. Client-server systems are the target for load testing. Server side processes input from clients. The more clients are in operation, the higher load on the server is. In order to make sure the system is able to cope with required level of load we need to emulate such conditions and make sure the system reacts correctly.
Load testing is usually automated with special tools. It is also very knowledge-intensive area where experience is the key for the success. Load testing is not as simple as create and run the test. This is the investigation process that involves many runs with different system and test settings with aim to get the reliable data and to draw correct conclusions. Experience in doing this kind of testing can dramatically reduce the number of such iterations needed to draw the conclusion.
