Hi Folks,
Soak Test - Running a system at high load for a prolonged
period of time. For example, running several times more
transactions in an entire day (or night) than would be
expected in a busy day, to identify and performance
problems that appear after a large number of transactions
have been executed.

Objectives of Soak Testing

The objective of soak testing is to identify any
performance problems that may appear after a system has
been running at a high activity level for an extended
period of time.

It is possible that a system may? Stop? Working after a
certain number of transactions have been processed due to
(for example):
1. Serious memory leaks that would eventually result
in a memory crisis;
2. Failure to close connections between tiers of a
multi-tiered system which could halt some or all modules of
a system;
3. Failure to close database cursors under some
conditions which could eventually result in the entire
systems stalling;
4. Gradual degradation in response time of some
function as internal data structures become less efficient
during a long, high intensity test.
Soak testing provides an opportunity to identify such
defects.

I think it will help you out

Regards,
Shankar

simply Soak esting is a combitation of load & endurance
testing. thr this we can identify the memory leaks of an
application.

Soaktesting Nothing But Endurance test In This We Can find
out MTBF And MTTF

MTBF:Mean Time between Failure of application
MTTF:Mean Time To Failure
