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

application is stable.

In strees testing we test the application for more than 200
users and we will test where the application is going to
crash r hang.

Load testing- In this type of performance testing system or
application is equipped with suitable environment and just
the load on the system is increased like no. of concurrent
users and response time etc. are measured.
