Stress Testing:

Testing the application until the system breaks or hangs is
the Stress Testing.

Load Testing:

Testing the application till the specified load is Load
Testing

EG: Consider the permissible load is 100

testing from 1 to 100 is load testing and testing from 101
until where the system breaks is the Stress Testing.

Answer / a.sushma

Load testing: During thid type of testing testers will run
the application on user required load to verify the
performance of the app.


Stress testing:During this type of testing testers will run
the app by adding some extra load to an app to find out the
break down point or maximum capacity of the app which is
under testing.

Answer / madhusudhan

Load testing: also concurrency testing.
load means number of concurrent users using our software build at a time. during this test, the testing team executes our software build under customer expected config n cust expected load to estimate speed of processing or performance.
eg : Hospital mgmt software.
Load = 10 = number of counters operating at a time in hospital.

here we test with 10 counters.

testing with more than 10 counters results stress testing.

stress testing : The execution of our software build under customer expected load to estimate the peak limit of load is called stress testing.

example for easy understanding sake.

take 7 seven seater auto.

if we sit 7 members = its comfirtable as its created for 7 ( load )

allowing the max number of persons to sit up to 10 or 11 is stress testing.

Thanks for spending.

Answer / rajesh pothina

Stress is to check the peak load of the application

Load is to check that how many users are accessing the
application and at the same time to check at which point the
application degrades or failed.

Answer / yash

Load testing and stress testing are quite opposite to each
other.

Load Testing: is done to check the maximum capacity of any
application or software to perform its operation, keeping
the standard resources intact. for example: concurrent user
accessing the application throughput, in simple words it is
the process which feeds software with unexpected values and
check how it performs.

Stress Testing: is the process by which we make
software/application starve by reducing the resources
specification and check for the minimum criteria under which
a software can perform. For Example: checking software by
reducing memory etc.

Answer / sravan kumar.p

Stress testing: Evaluate the system capacity to handle large number of processing transactions during peak(highest point)period.
Load testing: evaluate the system capacity to handle large amount of data during short(tiny) time period
