Before you start a stress test, you can use the end-to-end monitoring feature to specify the server-side applications and Alibaba Cloud instances that you want to test. This way, you can monitor every component and service in the system and the interactions between the components and services to improve the performance and stability of the system. You can globally monitor the dashboard and gain insight into the inflection points of server performance during stress testing and in stress testing reports.
