Setting up a Load Test Rig

Load testing is very important part of the testing cycle. It allows you to test your application under stress by increasing the parallel users of the application. To perform a good load test, you need to generate more and more traffic, which you can't do only using your development machine. As a solution, you can use load test rig to generate more traffic to your application. Load test rig is made up of one test controller machine and one or more test agent machines. Test controller coordinate the agent machines and agent machines generate load against the application.
