How to test the stress-client application

2. In a new console, switch to the client module directory: cd stress-client
3. Start the application with java -jar target/stress-client-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar check.yml
4. Wait until the test is complete.

How to run the stress test

Follow the instructions for "How to test the stress-client application", but instead of using check.yml, use stress.yml. The test will take much longer, exposing bugs that manifest under load.
