what is the difference between Load,Stress and Volume Testing?..

Answer / ramyasri

Load testing – Its a performance testing to check system
behavior under load. Testing an application under heavy
loads, such as testing of a web site under a range of loads
to determine at what point the system’s response time
degrades or fails.

Stress testing – System is stressed beyond its
specifications to check how and when it fails. Performed
under heavy load like putting large number beyond storage
capacity, complex database queries, continuous input to
system or database load.

volume testing:
Volume testing refers to testing a software application
with a certain amount of data. This amount can, in generic
terms, be the database size or it could also be the size of
an interface file that is the subject of volume testing

what is the difference between Load,Stress and Volume Testing?..

Answer / slb

Load Testing: Test the s/w by increasing the number of users

Stress Testing: Reduce the configuration of the platform (OS, RAM, Memory Space etc..)and test whether the S/W is working smoothly till which condition

Volume Testing: Amount of data in the DB that the S/W can manage

Answer / janet

Load: how the application reacts under heavy loads(done
using virtual users).
Stress: how the application reacts under peak hours.
Volume: how the application reacts for growing database.

Answer / mfsi_priyankaa

Load Testing- testing the s/w upto the max. capacity of the s/w.

Stress Testing- testing the s/w beyond the capacity of the s/w.

Volume Testing- testing the s/w at large volume of data.

what is the difference between Load,Stress and Volume Testing?..

Answer / ashok

Load testing : execution of s/w under testing under customer except configuration and customer except load to estimate performance is called as load testing

Stress testing : the execution of s/w under testing under customer expected configuration more than customer expected load by incrementing intervally to find peak load is called stress testing

Volume testing: testing team insert sample data into s/w under testing database to find capacity of that database

what is the difference between Load,Stress and Volume Testing?..

Answer / pradeepbaraik

Load means it's a testing process where it's checks the performance of a software or application if number of user increases.
Stress means it checks the performance of an application if the load increases in crucial time.
Volume testing means it checks the performance of an application if the database increases.

Answer / ranjith

Load, Stress and Volume Testing is a type of performance testing it is testing the stability and response time of an application by applying load
load is nothing but number of users
load testing - by applying less then or equal design number of users
stress testing - by applying more then design number of users
volume testing - by transpiring huge value of data

what is the difference between Load,Stress and Volume Testing?..

Answer / veena

Stress Testing :- means increasing the load and check the
performance each level.

Load testing :-means at a time give more load by
expectation and checking the performance at that level.

Volume testing :- means first we have to apply initial.
