What is the difference between volume and load?..

Answer / kishore sharma

Both are used for performance testing.
The basic difference that I understand is as follows:

volume testing: we check the data transfer sustainability
for example: input/output file, we give maximum data to
input file to check whether system sustains or not.

Load testing: we create virtual user and at a time access
the site to check the response time/throughput.

I appreciate valuable comments on the above.
