make the test resemble production.
Planned topics
- Traffic mix: for Shop, mostly browse and search, fewer carts, even fewer checkouts; take ratios from production logs.
- Closed model (fixed number of users waiting for responses) versus open model (arrivals at a fixed rate regardless of response time).
- Open models fit public web traffic; closed models hide overload because slow responses reduce arrival rate.
- Realistic data: large catalog, varied users, realistic cart sizes.
