We sometimes need to run load tests against GOV.UK and for that we use a tool
called [Gatling][gatling]. All the information on how to perform load testing
is stored in the [govuk-load-testing repository][govuk-load-testing].

<%= ExternalDoc.fetch(repository: 'alphagov/govuk-load-testing', path: 'README.md') %>

I've set the review date for one years time because most of this page is
copied from the `README.md` of the govuk-load-testing repo.
