Network Emulation in Performance Testing
In today's interconnected world, conducting performance testing on the LAN with excellent bandwidth, low latency, zero corruption etc. and released onto a WAN directly don't make sense. Identifying network related issues during end of release cycle by conducting performance testing from cloud or data center also is not a good idea. If performance testing needs to be added in the development cycle than emulation of WAN like environment becomes very important.
