Abstract
In this paper, the performance of web applications is critical to user satisfaction and business success. As applications become more complex, ensuring their optimal performance under varying conditions is a significant challenge. This research paper explores innovative strategies to enhance web application performance through contemporary load testing approaches. By delving into the methodologies, tools, and techniques used in load testing, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to identify and mitigate performance bottlenecks, thereby ensuring seamless user experiences and robust application functionality. This study presents a novel performance testing methodology developed using the Oracle Application Testing Suite (OATS). The methodology is designed to enhance web application performance and scalability. Findings indicate that OATS is among the most efficient, powerful, and accurate tools for detecting software performance drawbacks. Additionally, the performance indicators were reevaluated and redefined to provide more precise measurements.

Keywords
Load test, OATS, Performance Test, Performance test metrics.
