Isolation Testing

---

An isolation test is a type of load test, which focuses on a particular point in an application by continually executing a specific set of transactions. Isolation tests help in pinpointing a problem once one has been identified to exist in the application.

An isolation test is a type of load test used to focus in on a particular problem in a Web application. It is used once a number of load tests have identified that a problem actually exists in the application. Isolation tests often execute specific sets of transactions over and over again in order to precisely identify a problem. These tests can help in pinpointing, for example, which set of requests caused a Web server to send back an error message or caused a deadlock on the database server.
