Both load and stress testing come under the class of performance testing.

under customer expected configuration,under customer expected load,the application is run to estimate the speed of processing in load testing.here load testing is tested for the highest load,that the system can accept while still functioning properly

under customer expected configuration,under customer expected load with uinterval periods i.e.load applied from min to max  to estimate the stress capacity is stress testing here stress  testing is tested for the stability of the given system

My understanding of Load and Stress testingLoad Testing: on a given system, the load increases gradually till the systems response time becomes infinity. From this you can know the maximum load the system can handle.Stress Testing: in this some of the resourses of the system will be downgraded, eg. decreasing bandwidth capability of the network cords or shutdown one of the load balancers for the server, and still providing the expected load and see whether the system can handle the stress or not.Please correct me if I am wrong??? I would really appreciate your feedback.Thanks

load Testing:The Execution of our application under customer expected configuration and various load levels from high to low to estimate the load balance is c:alled Load Testing.

Answer(2):To Test the load of the System by adding an Application.

Stress Testing:To Test the System component or module beyond or with in the Specification Requirement.

Load  Testing: The  execution of our application build under customer expected configuration and various load level from high level to low level to estimate load balance is called Load Testing.

STRESS Testing: To Test system Component or module in beyond the limit  with Specification Requirement.

Load :-to ensure the performance of the application by increasting the no:users and the data being constant

stress:-To ensure the performance of the application by increasing both the user and the data.

Laod testing - testing an application under heavy loads, such as testing of a web site under a range of loads to determine at what point the system's response time degrades or fails.

Stress testing - term often used interchangeably with 'load' and 'performance' testing. Also used to describe such tests as system functional testing while under unusually heavy loads, heavy repetition of certain actions or inputs, input of large numerical values, large complex queries to a database system, etc

There is lot of differences between Load / Stress and Performance testing.The main Scenario of load test is that how many users can access the application at the Same time. Test done with ?N? of Testers or Load Runner is Automation toolStress testing deals with the quality of the application in the environment. The idea is to create an environment more demanding of the application than the application would experience under normal work loads To find defects like: Memory leak, Application hang Test based ? What point the system?s response time degrades or fails.Web Application testing too (WAPT) is Automation toolThanks,Sumanth

Load Testing: Testing the system response time by gradually increasing the load till the limit(mentioned in the BRS) is called Load testing.

Stress Testing: Testing the system response time by increasing the load beyond the limits(mentoined in the BRS) is called Stress testing.

For Example A banking application should be devoloped with 50 ATM centers, U need to check system response time for 50 atm Centers are accessed. For this Intially u go for Load testing. That is u will check the system response time for one ATM and then for 2 Atms. U will gradually increase the load Upto 50 atms(as mentioned in BRS) and check the system response time. Now if u start cheking system response time beyond 50 atms for banks future reference, then it is stress testing.

Yes Load Testing and Stree Testing comes Under Proformance Testing.

Load Testing: We run application under a heavy load up to that level when it gose fail.

Stress Testing: We run application under heavy load but we have run the complex queries of database number of times means put stress on application

Load Testing :- In Load testing we test  the how many user can access perticuler web site. how much load bear the web site.

Stress Testing :- In Stress Testing we test the web site continue it's functionality in
predefind load. In perticuler load how the web site working .
