Testing the application continuously for several hours to
identify its stability.

Answer / rajarathnam

Soak testing involves testing a system with a significant
load extended over a significant period of time, to
discover how the system behaves under sustained use.

For Example: a system may behave exactly as expected when
tested for 1 hour. However, when it is tested for 3 hours,
problems such as memory leaks cause the system to fail or
behave randomly.

Answer / usha, usha_0383@yahoo.com

soak testing is nothing but endurance testing. appling
customer expected load for long time on the build
continuously depending on our interest of interval period
in sec whether they are fix sec or random seconds or as

Answer / mythily

Soak testing (Also Known as Endurance Testing) is running a
system at high levels of load for prolonged periods of
time. A soak test would normally execute several times
more transactions in an entire day (or night) than would be
expected in a busy day, to identify any performance
problems that appear after a large number of transactions
have been executed.

the product should behave the same as before . it is
performed to chk the memory leakout issues .

Answer / anand prakash tripathi

it is also to be check/study that application/system is performing well for continuous 3-5 days on loaded condition.

Answer / madhan paliwal

Soak Testing is applying load more than the desired load design.

for example if the server load is design for 3000 number of
users and if we are going to apply for 5000 number of users
or more than 3000 number of users than we say that the
stability of the server is not good.
