What are the best practices in stress testing?

Best practices in stress testing include defining clear objectives, simulating realistic scenarios, and using automated tools.

Can you explain why defining clear objectives is important?

Defining clear objectives helps ensure that the stress tests are relevant and focused on the most critical aspects of the system.

What types of scenarios should I simulate?

You should simulate scenarios like peak load conditions, sudden spikes in traffic, and hardware failures to assess system resilience.

How often should stress testing be performed?

Stress testing should be performed regularly, especially before major releases or after significant changes to the system.
