hi all,
i am new to testing environment.i have two questions
1.what is the difference between volume test and load test.?
2.generally ,what is the output for stress testing.?because
it is beyond the limit.and what is the use of stress testing?

Answer Posted / jack

volume testing - test/measure the "volume" (typically
maximum # of transactions) a system, component or module
can handle.

stress testing - test/mesaure the system while under
stress. The stress can come from an outside source. For
example, if you have a 7/24 application, how does it
perform when there is a hot-backup or virus can in play on
the same box? Stress testing can also involved testing the
system under significant load.

Load testing - is a technique - in that you load test an
application to perform stress testing and/or volume
testing. Most automated tools will provide system load -
and as a tester you need to design the test to categorize
if you're trying to volume test a specific component or
scenario; or provide external stress (user load) to the
system.
