Before performing any sort of test, it is best to plan the expected behavior of the test. In this particular instance, the developer is performing a load test of static pages on the Google App Engine. The App Engine is a specialized Python API tied into a limited computing cloud. The developer is this test will be using the EC2 cloud provided by Amazon Web Services to provide the ramping behavior of multiple virtual users. The five stages of the test are setup, functional test, single node load test, multiple node load test, and interpretation of the resulting data.
