Overview
Loadmill performance testing replays API scenarios at scale so you can measure how a system behaves under concurrent traffic. A performance test can be created directly or derived from an API flow that already represents real application behavior.
What you can validate
Use performance tests to:
Measure response times, throughput, and error rates under load.
Validate expected capacity before a release or high-traffic event.
Find requests or services that become bottlenecks as concurrency increases.
Compare system behavior across environments or application versions.
Add performance thresholds to a repeatable delivery workflow.
Typical workflow
Create a scenario or convert an existing API flow.
Run a dry run to confirm that one iteration succeeds.
Configure duration, concurrency or request rate, ramp-up behavior, and execution locations.
Verify ownership of the tested domains before running at higher volume.
Run the test and review the results for latency, throughput, and failures.
