Rest API - API Testing and Monitoring

ACreate a task that sends POST requests with different user credentials and add wait times between requests

BSend continuous GET requests to the login endpoint without any delay

CRun a single user sending POST requests in a tight loop

DOnly test the API with one user to avoid server overload

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Understand realistic load testing
Realistic load testing simulates many users with varied data and natural pauses between actions.
Step 2: Evaluate options for realism
Create a task that sends POST requests with different user credentials and add wait times between requests uses different credentials and wait times, mimicking real user behavior. Others either overload or under-test the API.
Final Answer:
Create a task that sends POST requests with different user credentials and add wait times between requests -> Option A
Quick Check:
Use varied data and wait times for realism [OK]

Quick Trick: Add wait times and varied data for realistic load [OK]
