Abstract
Ensuring that software can handle high traffic and stress is crucial in today’s digital world. Break-point testing, a specialized type of performance testing, helps determine the maximum load a system can sustain before it starts to degrade or fail. This guide explores break-point testing using Apache JMeter, a widely used open-source performance testing tool. It covers how to set up tests, configure JMeter for accuracy, and design realistic testing scenarios. You’ll also learn about common challenges such as system bottlenecks, interpreting test results, and fine-tuning performance. By the end, you'll have a clear roadmap to ensure your software remains reliable and scalable under stress.
