Performance and load testing are vital components of ensuring the reliability of software applications. This guide explains best practices for improving your performance and load testing efforts, covering key principles: objectives, preparation, execution, status reporting, exit criteria and more.

By following these guidelines, you can understand more about assessing your application's performance and identifying potential issues before deployment.

Principles: Understanding the importance of performance baselines. 

Objectives: We can tailor the testing approach to address specific performance requirements.

Preparation: Essential steps such as identifying testing environments, selecting appropriate test tools and configuring test scenarios.
