Load testing

- [Instructor] Often, you'll hear the term load testing in conversations about performance testing. And in a way, this is the most generic type of performance testing. And there are many different kinds of loads that we can generate. And we'll look at some more specific types of loads later. But before we get into that, I want to set up a framework that we can use to help understand and think about the various kinds of performance testing that we'll discuss in this course. So this framework is really just a basic framework for thinking about approaching any type of testing. But we'll see how we can use it to specifically guide us in performance testing. Basically, where we'll start is here with the test design, where we design and think about what we want to test.
