Load Testing · Junior · Question 37 of 75
Why should a load test not reuse a single user and product ID for every request?
- 1Load tools cannot send the same ID twice in a row
- 2Caches will serve it, so results look faster than real traffic
- 3The server will block the test after the first repeated ID
Show the answer
Correct answer: Caches will serve it, so results look faster than real traffic
Explanation
Real users hit many different records. One hot ID stays in cache and avoids DB work, so results are too optimistic. Use parameterized test data.
