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, part of the broader work of QA testing and automated testing, involves putting demand on software or devices in order to measure the system’s behavior in normal usage and possible “peak load” scenarios. Sometimes called stress testing, the process is essential for understanding how a system will handle different numbers of simultaneous users. Load testing tools are used to help determine optimal architecture and scale needed to support projected usage...
