Load Testing of Web Applications
Load testing of web applications is typically done to understand the
load characteristics the application can handle, to configure the
hardware and the deployment architecture to allow the web application
to handle a higher load. If an application has to scale to millions of
users, performance testing becomes mandatory. This implies that the
tool used for testing must be scalable in the first place in order to
simulate the expected loads. Karthik explains why Erlang is the
language of choice for scalable and highly concurrent applications.
