Load Testing · Middle · Question 56 of 76

The system calls a payment provider. Should the load test hit the real provider?

Show the answer

Correct answer: Usually not: stub it and test the real one separately

Explanation

Third parties may charge, block you or have their own limits. A stub with realistic latency keeps the test about your system. Check limits of the real one separately.
