diff b/w stress testing and load testing?..

Answer / dhivya swaminathan ramasamy

Load Testing: Load testing means, we test the system with
maximum load specified

Stress Testing: Here we test beyond the maximum level

For example: the system can accept 500 users means, in load
testing we check up to 500 users and in stress testing we
check greater than 500 users

Answer / rafi

For example the developer has developed the appilication
for 200 users , in load testing we will test the
application for 200 user and we will test the application
is stable r not.

If the application stable for 200 user then we say the
application is stable.

In strees testing we test the application for more than 200
users and we will test where the application is going to
crash r hang.

not.

Stress Testing --Testing application beyond specified

Answer / shruti

Load testing- In this type of performance testing system or
application is equipped with suitable environment and just
the load on the system is increased like no. of concurrent
users and response time etc. are measured.

In stress testing however system's upper limits are tested.
Stress corresponds to choking. Similarly application is
given challenging environment and its robustness is checked
whether it wil survive with heavy load and poor OS etc.
