A test represents a load test for your application. A test is attached to an Azure load testing resource. You can create a test in either of two ways:

A test contains a JMeter test script, or *test plan*, and related data and configuration files. Azure Load Testing supports all communication protocols that JMeter supports, not only HTTP-based endpoints. For example, you might want to read from or write to a database or message queue in the test script.

Azure Load Testing enables you to test private application endpoints or applications that you host on-premises. For more information, see the [scenarios for deploying Azure Load Testing in a virtual network](./concept-azure-load-testing-vnet-injection.md).

For more advanced load testing scenarios, you can [create a load test by reusing an existing Apache JMeter test script](how-to-create-and-run-load-test-with-jmeter-script.md), a popular open-source load and performance tool. For example, your test plan might consist of multiple application requests, or uses input data and parameters to make the test more dynamic.

Azure Load Testing test engines abstract the required infrastructure for [running a high-scale load test](./how-to-high-scale-load.md). The test engines run the Apache JMeter script to simulate a large number of virtual users simultaneously accessing your application endpoints. When you create a load test based on a URL, Azure Load Testing automatically generates a JMeter test script for you. To scale out the load test, you can configure the number of test engines.
