What do you mean by scalability, spike ,stress,load testing...

Answer / sri

To say simply,
load testing is nothing but testing the application's
behaviour @ different load.
Stress testing is finding the application's break point by
applying abnormal stress on the application.
Spike testing is testing the application's behaviour by
large load for shorter duration.
Scalability testing is finding how much the application
scalable to meet the future requirements.

Answer / navi

stess testing is one in which one will apply stress on the
application either by performing abnormal actions
intensionally or continuosly using the application for long
period of time inorder to check the stability of the
application.

Load tesing is a type of testing in whoch one will apply
the initial load and then gradually increase the load to
find the critical/peak load (the load beyond which the
application degrades its performance). once the critical
load is found, it is compared with target load. if critical
>= target load then load test is passed else failed.....
