Define Stress, Load, Volume Testing?..

Answer / mercy

Load testing is the process of subjecting an application to
a work level approaching the maximum limit. This is
basically to test the reliability of the application. This
is a part of more general process called 'Performance
Testing'.

Eg: Assigning many jobs to a printer in a queque.

Load testing can be conducted in two ways:

1. Longevity Testing(Endurance Testing): This evaluates a
system's capability to handle a constant moderate load for
a long time.

2. Volume Testing: This evaluates a system's capability to
handle huge load for a short time.

Stress Testing: Evaluates the extent to which a system
keeps working when subjected to extreme work loads or when
some of its hardware or software is comprimised. The
primary goal is to determine the maximum amount of work a
system can handle without breaking.

Define Stress, Load, Volume Testing?..

Answer / mudaseer

in stress testing you test the application by application load for more than the desired number of users and we test whether the application is able to handle the load or not.in this we check the break point of the application


load testing we test the application by applying load equal to or less than number of users.for example if a website is designed for 1000 users we test the application by applying a load of 999 or 1000 users

volume testing here test for huge volume of data for example in facebook we upload photos this is known as volume testing
