Teaches load and performance testing from zero: a tool-selection table choosing between k6, JMeter, Gatling, Locust, and Artillery from observable project facts; the six load profiles (smoke, average-load, stress, spike, soak, breakpoint); open vs closed workload models; why percentiles beat averages; turning a run into a pass/fail CI gate with a first runnable k6 script; a performance-incident triage workflow (confirm with a k6 smoke run, flame-graph the hot path, check slow queries, localize…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# load-testing-overview Load testing drives concurrent, sustained traffic at a deployed system and measures what happens to response time, throughput, and errors while that traffic runs. It assumes correctness and asks whether the system stays fast and correct under load, and where it stops being either. It needs a deployed environment, realistic data volumes, and a real network path; run one against a laptop dev server and you measured the laptop. ## Pick a tool from what is already in the repo Five tools cover almost every case. Read the table top to bottom and stop at the first row that is true of your project. The rows are ordered so that hard constraints (protocol, who authors the tests) beat preferences (language). | Observable fact about your project | Pick | Why | |---|---|---| …

How to install
mdr add testland/qa/load-testing-overview@sha256:f34ba14e7c74a511The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.bc28491, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
