Consider a situation where an API you are testing is expected to handle a large volume of requests. How would you design your tests to ensure that the API can handle the load?
- Create tests with only a small number of concurrent requests.
- Use load testing tools to simulate high request volumes and analyze performance.
- Rely on user feedback to determine load capacity.
- Do not perform load testing, as it is not necessary.
In this scenario, the most appropriate approach is option B. To ensure that an API can handle a large volume of requests, you should use load testing tools to simulate high request volumes and analyze its performance under load. Option A, with a small number of requests, may not reveal potential issues, and option C is not a reliable method for load testing. Option D neglects the importance of load testing.
