An organization is conducting a performance test of a public application.

To conclude the performance test of a public application, the organization needs to verify the application works well under an unexpected volume of requests. This is also known as a stress test, which is a type of performance test that evaluates the behavior and stability of the application under extreme conditions1. A stress test can help identify potential bottlenecks, errors, or failures that may occur when the application is subjected to a sudden surge or spike in demand2. A stress test can also help determine the maximum capacity and scalability of the application3.
