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

Stress Testing: Here we test beyond the maximum level

testing we check up to 500 users and in stress testing we
check greater than 500 users

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.

Load testing- In this type of performance testing system or
application is equipped with suitable environment and just
