Hypothetically, is the solution to give Ukraine their nuclear weapons back? Well, suitable replacements from the US, that is. Since Russia reneged on the protection deal when they were removed, it seems like what they signed is moot. From a

In places like Russia, those words are very dangerous, and could get you jailed or sent to the front. Even calling it a "war" was/is a punishable offense. So, yes, words, but the potential consequences of these words have mor

To complete the analogy, you need to have one concurrent session per "virtual user." This is the "concurrency" of the test. In my bad test, I had one concurrent user driving all the throughput--me. If I had targeted 20

Targeting RPS without also targeting concurrent users is a huge mistake! Here's a metaphor I like. Imagine I am trying to open a small high-volume restaurant. I call the chef in for a trial run. I sit at a table, and while I watch, she

Hi James, I'm working on a load testing tool product. Any chance I could talk to you about your headaches, and how you do things? I'm trying to learn what people are doing now, and where the pain is. Maybe you could tell me if my

With VR, you can get the sight and physical environment you mention. That seems like, at minimum, proof that in-silico intelligence won't be blocked by that requirement. I do fully agree that any intelligence may not be human-like, t

At BrowserUp we built the first DRY (don't repeat yourself) load testing tool. The rough idea: * Most orgs take a sprint to write load tests in a separate tool/language (Jmeter, for example). * Re-using integration and end-to-end
