What is diff between Load testing Stress testing?

Answer Posted / jayesh katariya

Testing application to check how it will behave with
increasing number of users/ For perticular scenario is
called LOAD TESTING

but when you start testing the system when system is so
much loaded such that it fails to execute...

For example- you test online banking Application that can
handle 10000 transactions/Sessions for perticular function

when you start testing with 100, 1000, 4000 etc. to analyze
time taken, performance, system issues is called LOAD TEST

when you keep doing this you may find that system becomes
slow with increasing load and when reaches 10000+ it fails
to function further, but it should take care of all the
failed transactions/ other functionalities/ related pages
etc. in best way can be considered as a STRESS TEST (this
is just a simple example...)
