Crafting Realistic Workloads

Welcome to "Crafting Realistic Workloads"! In performance testing, a workload model defines how virtual users interact with your system during a test.

It's crucial because a realistic model ensures your test results accurately predict how your system will perform under real-world conditions, helping you find actual bottlenecks.

Start by identifying your user personas. Who uses your application? (e.g., guest, registered user, administrator). Each persona might have different behaviors.

Then, map out their typical business processes or "user journeys." What steps do they take? (e.g., "Guest browses products," "Registered user adds to cart and checks out").
