• First you have to understand the goals and set up a testing environment. Ideally, your environment would closely resemble production.
• Design and implement your tests with the tools you’ve selected (such as JMeter, LoadRunner or any other).
• Start to gradually increase the load on your tests while monitoring the performance and stability of your system.
• Optimize your backend API and go back to the first step to redesign your tests and try again until you’re happy with the results.
