What is difference between load testing and stress testing?

Answer Posted / dhivya swaminathan ramasamy

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

hi all I have an overall experience of 12 years working in an EDP setup(worked in a manufacturing setup in a German MNC). On my request, I was relieved from my duties in Sep 06 for maternity reasons. However I would like to pursue a career in a software organization as a manual tester. I obtained my proficiency certificate in Software Testing from STAG SOFTWARE LIMITED 2 months ago i.e in May and would now like to continue working in this field. However I am unable to find a job until now. If anybody knows of a opening at bangalore, kindly let me know.
