Coordinated omission

A load-testing error in which a generator that waits for each response stops sending the requests that would have suffered most during a stall, so measured latency understates what users arriving on their own schedule would see.

The definition appears in the Volume 1 glossary and Volume 2 glossary. This page collects where the book uses the term and where the blog takes it up.
