what is difference between stress testing and load testing?

Answer Posted / yash

Load testing and stress testing are quite opposite to each
other.

Load Testing: is done to check the maximum capacity of any
application or software to perform its operation, keeping
the standard resources intact. for example: concurrent user
accessing the application throughput, in simple words it is
the process which feeds software with unexpected values and
check how it performs.

Stress Testing: is the process by which we make
software/application starve by reducing the resources
specification and check for the minimum criteria under which
a software can perform. For Example: checking software by
reducing memory etc.
