What is AWS load testing?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 6:28 pm

AWS load testing is a tool that helps you measure the performance of your AWS resources. You can use it to find performance issues, and to improve the performance of your AWS resources.

AWS load testing is divided into two categories:

1. Performance testing: This tests how well your AWS resources respond to requests from a web application.

2. Capacity testing: This tests how much capacity your AWS resources can handle.

Performance testing

Performance testing helps you find problems with your web application. For example, you can test how your web application responds to different types of requests.

PRO TIP: AWS load testing is a process of putting stress on a web application or system to see how it performs under real-world conditions. This type of testing can help identify potential bottlenecks and issues with scalability.

However, load testing should not be used as a substitute for performance testing. Performance testing is a more comprehensive approach that looks at the speed and stability of an application under various conditions.

You can also test how your web application behaves when it is under load.

Capacity testing

Capacity testing helps you find problems with your AWS resources. For example, you can find out how much capacity your AWS resources can handle.

You can also find out how your AWS resources respond to requests when they are under load.
