Explain load, stress, all testing?

Question

Accepted Answer

Load testing is to test the system under normal and peak load conditions, stress testing is to test the system beyond its limits, and all testing is a combination of both.

Load testing checks the system's ability to handle expected load levels, ensuring performance under normal conditions.
Stress testing pushes the system beyond its limits to identify breaking points and measure performance degradation.
All testing combines load and stress testing to ensure the system can handle both expected and unexpected load levels.
Example: Load testing simulates a specific number of users accessing a website, stress testing simulates a sudden spike in traffic beyond the system's capacity.
Example: All testing involves gradually increasing the load on a system until it reaches its breaking point to understand its performance limits.
