Load Testing · Junior · Question 35 of 75
Why monitor server CPU, memory and DB during a load test?
- 1Client metrics show that it's slow, server metrics show why
- 2Because load tools cannot measure response time on their own
- 3Because it makes the test run faster on the same hardware
Show the answer
Correct answer: Client metrics show that it's slow, server metrics show why
Explanation
Latency and errors from the load tool tell you there is a problem. Utilization, saturation and errors on servers point to the bottleneck.
