What is difference between load testing and stress testing?

Answer Posted / dhivya swaminathan ramasamy

Load Testing: Load testing means, we test the system with
maximum load specified

Stress Testing: Here we test beyond the maximum level


For example: the system can accept 500 users means, in load
testing we check up to 500 users and in stress testing we
check greater than 500 users
