AWS solutions documentation change

Service: solutions · 2025-11-22 · Documentation low

File: solutions/latest/distributed-load-testing-on-aws/use-cases.md

Summary

Updated use case titles and descriptions to refine focus areas (e.g., renamed 'Simulate Production Load' to 'Pre-Production Validation', added 'Third-Party Service Testing', expanded explanations for capacity planning and regression testing)

Security assessment

The changes are editorial improvements to clarify testing scenarios and use cases, but do not address security vulnerabilities, security features, or security-specific guidance. Modifications focus on performance testing, scalability, and integration workflows without mentioning security controls, vulnerabilities, or mitigations.
