18 minutes readKey takeaways An SPA does its work after the initial HTML, so HTTP-level tests miss most of it. Test the API calls the app makes, weighted the way the app makes them. Add a small browser-level test for render timing, since the two measure different things. SPA Load Testing: Why Traditional Methods Fall Short –… Read more »
7 minutes readKey takeaways A virtual user simulates one person's session, including its pauses and sequence. Virtual users are not requests per second; the relationship depends on think time. Model think time honestly, since removing it invents traffic nobody generates. Virtual users (VUs) are the simulated humans that hit your system during a load test. They’re the… Read more »
19 minutes readKey takeaways Cold starts make serverless latency bimodal, so averages describe neither case. Concurrency limits and downstream throttling cap you before the function does. Test sustained and bursty load separately, because they fail in different ways. Serverless Surge: Why Performance Testing Needs a New Playbook in 2026 Serverless Adoption Has Outpaced Testing Practices In just… Read more »

Simpler authoring means tests get updated, which matters more than expressiveness. How Script Complexity Stalls Load Testing Efficiency The Hidden Cost of Code-Heavy Scripting For… Read more »
18 minutes readKey takeaways A dashboard people can read is what makes performance data get used rather than filed. Usability drives adoption more than feature depth in testing tools. Show the few numbers that trigger a decision, not everything the platform can plot. Intuitive Dashboards in Load Testing: The Overlooked Advantage Usability is now the deciding factor… Read more »

The real on-premise cost is maintaining load generators, not the licence. Start in the cloud and revisit the decision when traffic or compliance actually changes. Fishing With a Net or a Spear? The Real Startup Dilemma… Read more »
