Load testing, Performance, Metrics, Software engineeringAbstract
The growing dependence on web applications increases the challenges related to performance and stability in high-demand scenarios. In this context, load testing becomes essential to identify bottlenecks and prevent failures. This study aims to analyze, through a Literature Review, the performance metrics most commonly used in the evaluation of load testing for web systems, proposing a reference model for their organization and application. The expected results may support more efficient performance measurement processes and help ensure more consistent end-user experiences.
