Testing for throughput | Analyzing stress test results

Testing for concurrency

In addition to testing for the throughput targets, we also need to make sure that the site is able to handle the required number of concurrent users. The testing done to test for throughput doubles for testing the concurrency.

Similar to peak throughput expected, the business will have peak concurrency expected. There would also be business requirements of your site to maintain performance past peak concurrency expected, which we call the required business concurrency. Corresponding to the throughput breaking point, there would be a concurrency breaking point.
