Answer / biswajit pani
Soak testing is one type of Performance testing in which we
can test the stability and response time of the application
by applying the designed load for a longer time. in this
case the time duration may be normally 72hrs to 120 hrs.

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
soon as the first iteration completes apply the second
iteration and continue.

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.

Answer / arun kumar sahoo
its a type of nonfunctionality testing activity , to
measure the stability as well as the robustness of the
product . in this type of testing , the system or the
product is putted into a perticular state and then
left the product or the system for 3 days . after 3 days
the product should behave the same as before . it is
performed to chk the memory leakout issues .

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.

I m writting the test cases in Excel sheet. After wrting test cases for version 2.0.0 If there is new feature added in build 2.0.1, I will write test cases for newly added feature. Then 3.0 version release for testing with new feature. I will write test cases for newly added feature 3.0 But if in between 2.0.2 build release for testing with same feature of 3.0.Then should I have to write test cases for same feature again? If not --> when 2.0.2build again release for testing after 2months then How should I came to know that I have to run these test cases on 2.0.2build?
