Terheléstesztelk

Terheléstesztelk is a Hungarian term that translates to "load testing" in English. It refers to a type of performance testing used to determine the behavior of a system under a specific expected load. The primary goal of load testing is to identify performance bottlenecks and ensure the system can handle anticipated user traffic and data volumes without degradation. This is crucial for applications that are expected to have a significant number of concurrent users or process large amounts of data.

During a terhelésteszt, simulated users or requests are sent to the system at a controlled rate. Performance metrics such as response times, throughput, resource utilization (CPU, memory, network), and error rates are monitored. The results help developers and system administrators understand how the application performs under normal and peak conditions. This allows for the optimization of hardware resources, software configurations, and application code.

Terheléstesztelk is distinct from stress testing, which aims to find the breaking point of a system by applying extreme loads. Load testing focuses on validating performance within expected operational parameters. It is a vital part of the software development lifecycle, particularly for web applications, databases, and other systems where performance directly impacts user experience and business operations. By conducting thorough load tests, organizations can proactively address potential issues before they affect end-users in a live environment, leading to increased stability and customer satisfaction.
