Load Test: testing the application performance when number
of users are concurrently accessing the application
Stress test: by increasing the load, at what point of load
the application would fail to perform.
Performance test: testing for the Volume, response time and
stress of the application

Stress testing is subjecting a system to an unreasonable
load while denying it the resources (e.g., RAM, disc, mips,
interrupts, etc.) needed to process that load. The idea is
to stress a system to the breaking point in order to find
bugs that will make that break potentially harmful. The
system is not expected to process the overload without
adequate resources, but to behave (e.g., fail) in a decent
manner (e.g., not corrupting or losing data). Bugs and
failure modes discovered under stress testing may or may
not be repaired depending on the application, the failure
mode, consequences, etc. The load (incoming transaction
stream) in stress testing is often deliberately distorted so
as to force the system into resource depletion.
Load testing is subjecting a system to a statistically
representative (usually) load. The two main reasons for
using such loads is in support of software reliability
testing and in performance testing. The term "load testing"
by itself is too vague and imprecise to warrant use. For
example, do you mean representative load," "overload," "high
load," etc. In performance testing, load is
varied from a minimum (zero) to the maximum level the system
can sustain without running out of resources or having,
transactions >suffer (application-specific) excessive delay.
A third use of the term is as a test whose objective is to
determine the maximum sustainable load the system can
handle. In this usage, "load testing" is merely testing at
the highest transaction arrival rate in performance testing.

Do we have to execute all the test cases while doing sanity testing and regression testing??(manual testing)
What is Boundary value analysis?
When a project was started in an organisation ,Testing team will get BRS & FRS documents and starts preparing the Test cases for the application.when the Build was released whether the Testing team will execute only the written Test cases (or) they may update further testcases
how to test an web application. and what step have to considered first.
Hi everybody. In an interview i was asked to write the ECP for the range (1-10).

What r the features,u take care in prototype testing?
How we allocate the priority(Blocker, Critical, etc.,) in Testing?
Which one of the project team members bears the responsibility of deferring new functionality to a later release?
What is diff between equialence partioning and boundary value analysis
i have experience in automation testing for 1.6 yrs, and now i'm working as manual tester... will it create any black mark when i search for jobs again...??
