Answer / rohituppal

Stress testing and load testing are performance testing.

In stress testing, the application is loaded and the resources like RAM required by application are depleted so as to check at what point the application breaks.

In load testing, application is put under load like the number of transactions are increased so as to check how many transactions the application can handle.
