Answer / rajarathnam

Soak testing involves testing a system with a significant
load extended over a significant period of time, to
discover how the system behaves under sustained use.

For Example: 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 (Also Known as Endurance Testing) is running a
system at high levels of load for prolonged periods of

expected in a busy day, to identify any performance
problems that appear after a large number of transactions
have been executed.

Answer / madhan paliwal

Soak Testing is applying load more than the desired load design.

users and if we are going to apply for 5000 number of users
or more than 3000 number of users than we say that the
stability of the server is not good.
