What is endurance testing?

Answer Posted / vsk309

Endurance testing involves examining a system while it
withstands a huge load for a long period of time, and
measuring the system's reaction parameters under such
conditions. Performance quality may also be tested to make
sure that both the result and the reaction times - after a
defined long period of continuous load - are degraded no
more than a certain specified percentage from their values
at the beginning of the test.

For instance, in program testing, a system may perform
exactly as anticipated when tested for one day. However,
when it is tested for three days, hardware resource issues,
such as a memory shortage, can cause the system to crash or
function improperly.

In the field of software, endurance testing may involve
testing the operating system and the computer hardware up to
or above their maximum ratings for a long period of time.
Some companies may endurance test a software package for up
to a year, while also applying external loads such as
Internet traffic or user actions.
