For testing out some webservices, how do I estimate the Peak Load per second if I know the average number of hits I know the site is going to get in a day or get in a year.
Likewise, if I know the Peak load, i.e. peak number of hits the webservice is going to get per second, then how do I calculate the average load from this figure.? Are there any statistical methods for calculating this?
I need these for designing the stress testing of the service.
