How do I interpret load testing results?

Interpreting load testing results involves analyzing metrics like response time, throughput, and error rates. What specific results do you have?

I have a response time of 500ms and a throughput of 200 requests per second.

A response time of 500ms is generally acceptable, but it depends on your application's requirements. Is that within your target?

Yes, our target is under 600ms. What about the throughput?

A throughput of 200 requests per second is good, but you should also check if there are any spikes in error rates during peak loads.

I noticed a 5% error rate during peak times. Is that concerning?

Yes, a 5% error rate can be concerning, especially under load. It may indicate that your application is struggling. You should investigate further.
