Description

HTTP services can be stress-tested with configurable request load to understand latency and throughput limits.

It is useful for developers and administrators checking APIs, web servers, or staging environments before real traffic arrives. Load tests can disrupt production systems or look like abuse, so target permission, rate, duration, and environment must be chosen carefully.
