In performance testing, how does the use of cloud-based tools offer an advantage over traditional methods?

Cloud-based tools offer an advantage in performance testing by enabling global test distribution. They allow performance tests to be executed from various locations, simulating real-world user scenarios more accurately. Cloud-based tools also provide scalability, allowing testers to scale up resources as needed for large-scale performance testing. Traditional methods may face limitations in terms of scalability and global distribution, making them less suitable for modern and distributed applications.
