Web sites and web applications get to deal with a lot of user traffic
which might sometimes adversely affect their performance and stability.
To prevent this from happening, it is imperative that these sites are
put under heavy load testing by simulating a real-world scenario of multiple
users accessing the system. This will help you identify the maximum load
the web server can handle and avoid bottlenecks when your application
or site goes live.
One feature that is important in load testing is the ability to generate
large number of virtual users. When testing requires generating such heavy
load, it will be almost impossible for a single machine to simulate more
than a couple hundred virtual users. A better strategy would be to distribute
the load to remote systems running in parallel.
Testing under peak load conditions give organizations the assurance
that customers will not be negatively impacted by a change in the web
application or web site.
QEngine provides Distributed Load Testing option which centrally manages,
automatically generates load from a single Test controller and distributes
the configured load to the remote agents. To know more, refer this
