terhelésteszt

terhelésteszt is a Hungarian term that translates to "load test" or "stress test" in English. It is a type of performance testing that evaluates how a system, application, or component behaves under a specified, heavy load. The primary goal of a terhelésteszt is to identify bottlenecks and determine the system's breaking point, understanding its capacity and stability.

These tests typically involve simulating a large number of concurrent users or a high volume of transactions to see how the system responds. Key metrics monitored during a terhelésteszt include response times, throughput, resource utilization (CPU, memory, network), and error rates. By analyzing these metrics, developers and testers can pinpoint areas where performance degrades significantly.

The findings from a terhelésteszt are crucial for ensuring that a system can handle anticipated user traffic and operational demands. It helps in making informed decisions about hardware upgrades, software optimizations, and architectural adjustments. Without proper load testing, systems can experience failures, performance issues, and user dissatisfaction when subjected to real-world conditions, especially during peak usage periods. The term is widely used in software development and IT infrastructure management within Hungarian-speaking contexts.
