Load Testing Quote for July 30, 2010
- Tags:
On the Software QA and Testing Resource Center site, there is a post about Estimating Test Duration. Here is a quote for your educational benefit:
The duration of the peak is also very important-a Web site that may deal very well with a peak level for five or ten minutes may crumble if that same load level is sustained longer than that. You should use the length of the average user session as a base for determining the load test duration.
For some of my thoughts on endurance testing (or soak testing), see the post on Long Duration Load Tests.
