Stress testing is a form of testing that is used to 
determine the stability of a given software system in 
abnormal operational conditions. 

Testing the application behavior beyond normal operational 
capacity.

For example if a web application can handle 100 users max 
any point of time.
Remember that 100 users is the max handling capacity of the 
web application.

In stress testing testers will generate scenario to test 
the application.
as follows:
test-1:110 users
test-2:120 users
test-3:150 users....etc

Then they will observe the Load(user) vs the response(time) 
characteristics.this will give the clear picture of the 
application under stress conditions.

Stress testing is a form of testing that is used to 
determine the stability of a given system or entity. It 
involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often 
to a breaking point, in order to observe the results. 
Stress testing may have a more specific meaning in certain 
industries.

In my view,...It is something like... Number of users use 
the application for a logtime and check how much the 
application takes to complete a particular operation
