Hi ShiftSyncers!

This Q&A piece from our recent webinar can be useful for you.

    Great response. Easy answer would have been to test continuously which is indeed a waste of resource. It’s like testing for Black Friday e-commerce loads every day which is unnecessary. But load testing at scale is indeed critical. It’s where we often see outages and things break.
