Conducting testing under expected load is a Load testing and performence testing concentrates  on speed of operation.

Hello,

    Performence testing is the result of stress and load testing.

Stress testing is done by gradually increasing the input value in the application at a given point.and see when the performence of the soft ware degrates.

Volume or load testing is giving lumbsum in put at a given point in the application and see the result in term of :

1  Application response time

Most people you talk with and books you read have different definitions for the same words. To mitigate this we have a standard set of definitions we work with. Baseline: A single user running in standalone mode to determine the best possible transaction speed of the system. If this does not meet the performance requirements, then it?s time to jump into optimization mode right away.Rendezvous: Submitting multiple users at the exact moment in time to catch concurrent threading issues. An automated tool is required to consistently catch this type of error. Load: Simulating the average transaction rate a system will experience during an average day. Volume: Simulating the transaction rate peak most system experience each day that is significantly above the Load rate. For most systems this is 2-5 times Load transaction rate. Capacity: Continuously increasing the transaction rate, at a standard rate of increase, until the system reaches a failure point to determine the overall capacity of the system on that particular infrastructure. Stress: Running a ?Load? transaction rate test over an extended period of time to catch errors that only occur over long periods of system use.

Hi

   According to me load testing and stress testing are different being two faces of a same coin.Load testing is for how system behaves in maximium load whereas stress testing we do by taking system in stressful enviroment means  making system to run in stressful configuration enviroment.

Hi

        Load testing is also  part of performance testing because performance testing is checking the performance of system putting different test suit Ex with maximium load and making uncertainity over deferent factors like end users(lke scalability testing ).Performance testing can be done mannually but we cannot assure efficent over tools.

Load testing is that the number of simultaneous user that the webserver can handle.It shows the degradation behaviour of the system or software.

But Stress testing is that the maximum carrying capacity of the system or software. It shows the failure behaviour of the system or software.

load : It means  down loading of an applications or softwares from the web,

performance testing: It is nothing but the time taken of the open of the application
