Real Traffic Reflects Real Behavior

Focusing on throughput during load testing is misleading as it fails to account for the unique behavior of real users. Unlike benchmark tests that hammer requests without pauses, real users interact with applications at their own pace—reading, clicking, and navigating through a variety of pages rather than repetitively requesting the same content. To gauge actual user capacity, it’s crucial to consider how users genuinely engage with the app, including their diverse paths and data inputs.
