AssemblyAI has published a guide on load testing voice agents to ensure they perform reliably in production environments. The article emphasizes the critical difference between a controlled demo and real-world conditions, where factors like high concurrency, compressed audio, and noisy environments can significantly degrade performance. It outlines what aspects of a voice agent pipeline, such as speech recognition, LLM processing, and tool calls, should be tested under load, and stresses the importance of using a realistic corpus of worst-case audio scenarios for accurate testing.
