In this episode, Karime explains why load testing has shifted from a niche practice to an industry standard, especially after 2020, when the world pivoted to remote work.

This session was packed with practical steps, from understanding your environment and data considerations to setting realistic testing baselines and analyzing key performance metrics like response time, error rates, resource utilization, and scalability. By the end of this episode, you'll feel equipped with the necessary knowledge to implement efficient load tests.

Karime also delves into the importance of a 'warm-up' phase to simulate real-world traffic and avoid false negatives. This phase is often overlooked but is a key component of effective load testing.

By the end of this episode, you'll have a clearer roadmap for implementing efficient and effective load tests, ensuring your applications can handle real-world demands.

Join me as we embark on this load-testing expedition—your quest for practical application starts here!
