Load Testing · Middle · Question 63 of 76
Why run a test at 120-150% of the expected peak?
- 1Because load tools always undercount the real load by half
- 2Because tests at exactly 100% always fail
- 3To have headroom for growth, bad estimates and failover
Show the answer
Correct answer: To have headroom for growth, bad estimates and failover
Explanation
Peaks are estimates, and losing a node or zone moves its traffic to others. Headroom tells you how much margin you have.
