Mainly, there are 3 types of performance testing:
1) Load Testing: To test the performance and behaviour at 
peak load (or speed or configuration)
2) Stress Testing: To test the performance and behaviour 
beyond peak load (or speed or configuration)
3) Repetition Testing: To test the performance and 
behaviour when testing is done repeatedly. Mainly to check 
for memory leaks

the types of performance testing are 
i)load testing -to test the number of users at a time.
 
ii)stress testing-its about the speed that the user perform.

iii)repetition testing-it is to test the leakage of 
memories.....

The different types of performance testing are :
1. Load testing
2. Stress testing
3. Endurance testing or soak testing
4. Spike testing

1. Load testing

2. Stress testing

These two testing are mainly in use .
