difference between load testing and stress testing?

Answer Posted / naveen kumar k.l

Assume that we have to develop an application for 100 users
of load.
Load Testing:Testing the behavior of an application by
applying a load which is less than or equal to designed load
( 100 users),under proper environment conditions.

Stress:Testing the behavior of an application by applying a
load which is greater than designed load( 100 users),under
proper environment conditions.
This means we are testing the application by applying a
load which is greater than designed load.
