On load testing tools
The paper examines the main aspects of testing the performance of software products. The article
gives a classification of testing methods. The main focus is on so-called load testing. Load testing is
conducted to determine the degree to which the system meets non-functional requirements, such as
the maximum number of simultaneous users, the response time of the information service, and so on.
To verify such requirements, as a rule, we need to emulate user activity, close to real. Load testing is
conducted to determine how quickly the computing system or part of it under a certain load, as well
as confirm other attributes of system quality, such as scalability, reliability and resource consumption.
The paper describes in detail the different types of stress tests, as well as a testing methodology for
each species. This list includesб for example, the detection of maximum performance, reliability and
fault tolerance tests, localization of performance problems. The article suggests also a set of indicators
for the classification of testing tools, on the basis of which a comparative analysis of existing tools
for conducting load testing is given.
