In this article, you learn how to use AI-powered actionable insights in Azure Load Testing to identify and troubleshoot performance issues in your application. This feature analyzes your test run data using AI to highlight key issues—such as latency spikes, throughput drops, or backend resource bottlenecks—and provides recommended next steps.
You can view actionable insights directly in the test run dashboard after your test completes.
