// MISSION BRIEF
Your Mission
A load test is only as honest as its workload model. Guess the traffic and you certify a fantasy. This quiz covers deriving the model from production, open vs closed systems, peak-to-average ratios, and the little law that ties arrival rate to concurrency.
// FIRST CONTACT
Battle teaser
A realistic workload model is best derived from:
- AThe single fastest endpoint, run flat out
- BProduction traffic data: endpoint mix, arrival rates, peak-to-average ratios
- CThe developer's intuition about typical usage
- DA round number of virtual users someone picked
Answers, scoring, hints, and the full battle stay sealed.
