Hi,

Load Testing and Performance Testing are Positive testings where as Stress Testing is negitive.

Letus take for example there is application which can handle 25 simulatenous user logins at a time. In load testing we will test the application for 25 users and how application is working in this stage, in performance testing we will concentrate on time taken to perform the operation. Where as in stress testing we will test with more users than 25 and the test will continue to any  number and we will check where the application is craching.

Above 3 tests &Recovery testing are called System Testing 

well ,

Load and stress testing are types of Perfomance testing and then ....

stress is definitely a type of negative testing since we are going to increase the load by denying its resources...

load testing: Estimating the performance of the server under customer expected configuration of load

stress testing: Estimating the performance of the server or CPU with maximum load or peak load

load testing and stress testings are called performance testings

Another type of performance testing is voluem testing

volume testing: Estimating the performance of the server or CPU over customer expected values or more than peak load

hi,

laod and stress r absolutely negative testing.performance testing not considered with + and _ testing it differs it.

Ex:client req is chech the app with 1000 users.but we r conducting the testing more than that because we want to know how many vusers the app is working fine.in the sense more than 1000+.we r testing the app with an intention of app where it is going to fail
