Our team is planning to Load test our application which requires User Login. We have Test Studio (Ultimate) and already placed order for 10,000 VUs package. I am having confusion understanding the difference between these two ways of load testing. I have created automated scripts including signing in and other actions.

One way i found is, assigning  VUs to the same test with no actual username/passwords. Recording the traffic using single user interaction.

Other one is to bind a data source containing that many actual usernames and passwords. This will be Data Driven Load Testing if I am not wrong.

So to understand which is tha one we need and useful to us, Can I get more knowledge about the things I have mentioned above.

Thanks

Hello Satpreet,

Load testing module in Test Studio provides plenty of opportunities. As you have mentioned they could be also data driven which will be the better approach to design the load test to accomplish your requirements. 

Here is an overview how a load test could be designed. I would like to share few more articles with you to better understand the think times and how to use them, the different concepts behind virtual users usage and how to select the load traffic

Please let me know if you would need further assistance. Thanks!
