A Load Generator is a tool designed to create a simulated load on a system under test. It generates traffic by simulating multiple users performing actions simultaneously.
Key Features:
- Scalability: Can simulate thousands of users concurrently.
- Customisable Scenarios: Allows configuration of different user behaviours and loads.
- Performance Monitoring: Tracks system response times and resource usage during tests.
Load generators are essential for performance testing, helping teams ensure that applications can handle high-traffic volumes effectively.
