Soak testing is running a system at high levels of load for
prolonged periods of time.

Some times basic functionality of the application works fine
but given extra load e.g. 1000 users trying to access a web
application at the same time or filling the memory of device
may cause some exceptions.

In other words we can say soak testing is a combination of
load and performance testing.

soak testing:

Soak Tests is also Known as Endurance Testing.

Soak testing is running a system at high levels of load for prolonged periods of time.

A soak test would normally execute several times more transactions in an entire day than would be expected in a busy day, to identify any performance problems that appear after a large number of transactions have been executed.

Also, it is possible that a system may ‘stop’ working after a certain number of transactions have been processed due to memory leaks or other defects.

Soak tests provide an opportunity to identify such defects, whereas load tests and stress tests may not find such problems due to their relatively short duration.

For example, in software testing, a system may behave exactly as expected when tested for 1 hour.

However, when it is tested for 3 hours, problems such as memory leaks cause the system to fail or behave randomly.

Soak testing falls under stress testing.

execute several times more transactions in an entire day (or
night) than would be expected in a busy day, to identify any
performance problems that appear after a large number of
transactions have been executed.
