Performance testing (sometimes called load testing) puts a demand or load on your application or compute system and measures the response. By performing load testing, you can determine how your applications and cloud deployment can be expected to perform in times of heavy production usage. Load testing helps you determine a system's behavior under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions. All systems will fail at some point when under heavy loads, and by performing tests, you can identify and rectify any issues on your design.
