What is the difference between stress, volume and load
testing?

Answer Posted / aakash bhadoria

All the three types of testing are categorized under
performance Testing.

Load testing: An application performance when checked under
increasing load(Virtual users) to the expected load is
called load testing. In load testing if there are 100 users
defined ie load for the extent an application/system can
bear then the load is increased only to this extent

Stress testing: For above defined criteria stress testing is
always performed above the extreme conditions ie load is
increased above 100 and check at which point application
starts to degrade or stop working.

Volume Testing: This testing is performed while entering the
variety of data in the system.The maximum data at which
system starts to degrade.
