what is the difference between Performance,Load ,Stress
testing

Answer Posted / sj1234

Performance testing verifies loads, volume and response
time as defined by requirements

while load testing is testing an application under heavy
loads to determine at what point the system response time
degrades.

Stress testing - Verifies the acceptability of the target-
of-test's performance behavior when abnormal or extreme
conditions are encountered, such as diminished resources or
extremely high number of users.

Briefly:

Performance testing is the overall process,
Load testing checks that the system will support the
expected conditions,
Stress testing tries to break it
