what is diff between stress & load testing..

Answer / rajesh

In load testing u will test the application by increasing
the load to chk the bottlenecks of the application i.e, at
which situtation /point the application performance
degrades.

stress testing:is testing the application by giving
repeated or heavy inputs to check the stability of the
application i.e, whether it can withstand repeated inputs
or not.

what is diff between stress & load testing..

Answer / naresh

stress test: The execution of s/w build under customer
expected congiguration and peak load to estimate the load
capaity of s/w.

Load test: The execution of s/w build under customer
expected configuration and customer expected load to
estimate the performace of the s/w. i.e., checking the
number of concurant users can access the s/w at a time in
view of customer requirement.

Answer / nitin verma

Hi,
In the Stress testing we test the software against heavy
load such as complex numerical values and large number of
inputs to test whether it is able to carry them out or at
what point it fails.

And as the name is suggesting in the Load testing we
increase the load on the software by connecting the so many
users with the application.

Answer / sagar

Load testing - Conducted on software application to
evaluate its responce time of the application at maximum
load.
Stress testing - Huge user load or Abnormal user load are
applying on the application to check wheather application
crashing decently[ie saves the unsaved data and then crash]
or not. Make sure that their is no data loss

what is diff between stress & load testing..

Answer / devanand

Performance testing

The goal of performance testing is not to find bugs, but to
eliminate bottlenecks and establish a baseline for future
regression testing. For a Web application, testers will use
tools that simulate concurrent users/HTTP connections and
measure response times.

Load testing

We have already seen load testing as part of the process of
performance testing and tuning.it meant constantly
increasing the load on the system via automated tools. For
a Web application, the load is defined in terms of
concurrent users or HTTP connections.

Stress testing

Stress testing tries to break the system under test by
overwhelming its resources or by taking resources away from
it (in which case it is sometimes called negative testing).

what is diff between stress & load testing..

Answer / nagk24

Load:-it is performed by increasing the users gradually and
check performance of the system and how much load it can capable
Stress:-here we gradually increase the no of users more than
load,and check whether system getting any
impact(failure,break) and how much load it capable maximum

testing.
c) During this test, test engineers validate the
application, run on the based increasing no of users.
d) Stray?s testing is nothing but one of the
performance testing.
e) During this test, test engineers validate the
application, run on the based increasing no of users.
