Abstract

Load testing is one of the important parts during software development and it is included on the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) on testing section. The main objective of load testing is to get an overview of the application performance in accordance with the amount of load, usage, and user access. After we get the performance result, the system owner could decide and allocate appropriate capacity amount of infrastructure resource to deliver best application performance and get user satisfaction. This research is about literature review on several paper which discussed about load testing tools, method, and objective. From this research, it is known that during the load testing phase there are several tools that can be used to conduct load testing along with standard load testing procedures to get accurate results so that the web application can be optimized in accordance with the amount of usage
