Performance : Load : Stress Testing
Performance testing is an empirical technical investigation conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the product or service under test with regard to speed, scalability and/or stability characteristics. It is also the superset of other classes of performance-related testing such as load and stress testing.
A load test is a performance test focused on determining or validating performance characteristics of the product under test when subjected to workload models and load volumes anticipated during production operations.
A stress test is a performance test focused on determining or validating performance characteristics of the product under test when subjected to workload models and load volumes beyond those anticipated during production operations. Stress tests may also include tests focused on determining or validating performance characteristics of the product under test when subjected to workload models and load volumes while the product is subjected to other stressful conditions, such as limited memory, insufficient disk space or server failure.
