How Our Analysts Conduct Load Testing Themselves — and Why They Need It

We experienced a painful failure — the system couldn't handle real load and crashed in production. This incident forced us to rethink our development approach. Today, our analysts independently conduct load testing during the discovery phase.

What you'll learn: 

1. Why it matters: why load testing is not a task for DevOps or testers “afterward”, but the responsibility of an analyst “beforehand”. 

2. How the process changed: how to integrate load testing into the discovery and requirements elaboration phases. 

3. Tools: what simple and accessible tools analysts use for testing. 

4. The outcome: how this practice prevents architectural mistakes at early stage and saves from production failures.
