Monitoring tools are used in the test process to gain insight into aspects like memory use, CPU use, network load and
performance. All kinds of data relating to resource use are measured and saved and presented by means of a report.
Configuring such tools is often complex. However, often a maintenance department already has monitoring tools to monitor
the operational production environment, perhaps these can be used in the test environment as well. In performance, load and
stress test tools, monitoring functionality is often an integrated component.
