Load Testing · Junior · Question 31 of 75
Why should a load test environment be close to production?
- 1Because only production has a database that can store results
- 2Results on smaller hardware or other settings don't predict prod
- 3Load tools refuse to run against anything that isn't production
Show the answer
Correct answer: Results on smaller hardware or other settings don't predict prod
Explanation
Different instance sizes, data volumes, caches or network setup change where the bottleneck is. Scaling results from a small env is unreliable.
