Load testing is aimed at checking the behavior of the program under extreme operating conditions. Experts of load testing companies put simulated demand on computer, device, server, peripheral, app or network to measure its response. General candidates for load tests are the situations where: Maximum Number of The Input Data. What demand can be handled by your program? Is it
