what is the defference between stress and load testing?
Answer Posted / amarjeet
First of all, both testing are used for testing the
performance of the application.More generally we can say
that these are the techniques to perform PERFORMANCE
TESTING.
In the LOAD testing we check the application for the volume
of users at the peak level. For example say a application
can afford 500 users at the peak time and this time remains
for 5 hrs.then we'll test the application with 500 virtual
users for 5 hrs. Keep it remember that the this is
performed in steps i.e. firt we test the application for
5,10,50,100,....,500 virtual users. And in this way we test
the application for specified number of users.
In the STRESS Testing we test the application for beyond
the specified limit(number of users). And check what the
degradations take place before going to fail,how the system
starts behaving????
LOAD and STRESS testing are almost two synonymous term.
The only difference is that in Load Testing we test for the
SPECIFIED LIMIT and in Stress Testing for BEYOND THE LIMIT.
