Hi,

I am Rashmi here . 

 Testing the stability and response time of an application by applying different loads is nothing but performace testing .  (Here load means number of users or amount of data trasferrred ) .
 For Ex : An Application is designed to accept 2000 users , but crashes at 1500 users then we say that stability is poor ,  whereas in an  Application if the application accepts 2000 users but the response time is too slow .

 Performance testing is basically of 4 types i.e  1. load performance testing , 2. stress performance testing 3. Volume testing 4. soak testing .  

 Testing the stability and response time of an application by applying a load less than the desired load is nothing but loading testing .    

  Any suggestions regarding my answer plz let me know ........  

  Regards
  Rashmi ...

load testing:testing the application w.r.t no. of users and checking the response time.
performance testing:increasing the no. of users beyond the limit hitting the same request  and checking for the response time.
