Load Testing · Junior · Question 36 of 75
The load generator's CPU is at 100% during a test. What does that mean for the results?
- 1Nothing: the generator's CPU never affects measured latency
- 2They are more accurate, because the generator worked at full speed
- 3They may be invalid: the generator itself is the bottleneck
Show the answer
Correct answer: They may be invalid: the generator itself is the bottleneck
Explanation
An overloaded generator sends fewer requests and measures time late, so latency looks worse or RPS lower than reality. Add generators or reduce load per machine.
