Performance Test - A performance test is done to verify that an IT system performs according to the non-functional requirements.
If non-functional requirements are not available a performance test can be done to verify the actual performance before a release.
Per definition ”Load Testing” and “Stress Testing” are two types of Performance Tests.
Load Test - A test that generates transactions to a targeted application with intention of verifying how the application reacts to a specific load.
Stress Test- A stress test is a performance test where the level of load is increased over the expected load in production.
The focus of the test can be to see how a specific function is handling high-load or as a test that generates production-like transactions with a higher than expected throughput.
The goal is to identify what part of the architecture design is limiting the performance and if the application recovers when the load is decreased.
Load Testing Tools enable organizations to simulate user activity and assess application performance under stress. These tools are essential to ensure software's sustainability and efficiency, helping predict potential failure points before they impact users.
Load Testing Tools allow teams to validate the scalability of software by applying load conditions that mimic real-world user interactions. They provide crucial data for developers to identify performance bottlenecks and optimize...
