This type of testing is critical in ensuring the stability and performance of the application under a variety of different scenarios and conditions. Load testing helps to identify any weak points in the system, such as areas of code that are inefficient or need to be improved, as well as areas that could be vulnerable to security threats. Generally, load testing is done prior to deployment to ensure the application is optimized for performance.
