I have read that doing automation for load testing is better as compared to do it in manual testing. For load testing to be performed manually, you will have to gather hundreds of users to target the application on the same time or with delay in order to see the response time and other stuff. Now, my question is that we can run one test at a time. This means that on one machine, we can run one test. So in order to target 100 users to hit the application at the same time, we need 100 machines to run the test at the same time. Isn't that costly? I understand that one machine can execute the test more faster than a person doing it manually. But that isn't related to load testing. It can be used for volume testing rather.Please, clarify.Regards.

Hi,
We dont have requierment of 100 machine more because we can do the test only one machine and generate 100 diffrent V-User for that,
and execute the action of 100 V User at one time in one machine.
