In load testing u will  test the application by increasing 
the load to chk the bottlenecks of the application i.e, at 
which situtation /point the application performance 
degrades.

stress testing:is testing the application by giving 
repeated or heavy inputs to check the stability of the 
application i.e, whether it can withstand repeated inputs 
or not.

a)	The stress and load testing both are under 
performance testing 
b) Load testing is nothing but one of the performance 
testing.
c)	During this test, test engineers validate the 
application, run on the based increasing no of users.
d)	Stray?s testing is nothing but one of the 
performance testing.
e)	During this test, test engineers validate the 
application, run on the based increasing no of users.

stress test: The execution of s/w build under customer 
expected congiguration and peak load to estimate the load 
capaity of s/w.

Load test: The execution of s/w build under customer 
expected configuration and customer expected load to 
estimate the performace of the s/w. i.e., checking the 
number of concurant users can access the s/w at a time in 
view of customer requirement.

Hi, 
In the Stress testing we test the software against heavy
load such as complex numerical values and large number of
inputs to test whether it is able to carry them out or at
what point it fails.

And as the name is suggesting in the Load testing we
increase the load on the software by connecting the so many
users with the application.

Load testing - Conducted on software application to 
evaluate its responce time of the application at maximum 
load.
Stress testing - Huge user load or Abnormal user load are 
applying on the application to check wheather application 
crashing decently[ie saves the unsaved data and then crash]
or not. Make sure that their is no data loss

Load testing:Excution an our application applying the under 
customer expected load to estimate the CPU/SERVER 

Stress testing:Excution an our appliaction applying the 
directly maximum load to estimate the CPU/SERVER

Performance testing

The goal of performance testing is not to find bugs, but to 
eliminate bottlenecks and establish a baseline for future 
regression testing. For a Web application, testers will use 
tools that simulate concurrent users/HTTP connections and 
measure response times.

Load testing

We have already seen load testing as part of the process of 
performance testing and tuning.it meant constantly 
increasing the load on the system via automated tools. For 
a Web application, the load is defined in terms of 
concurrent users or HTTP connections.

Stress testing

Stress testing tries to break the system under test by 
overwhelming its resources or by taking resources away from 
it (in which case it is sometimes called negative testing).
