Define Stress, Load, Volume Testing?

Answer Posted / 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.
