Do you know what makes stress testing an integral part of Software testing? Well, it is among those software testing techniques that help verify whether the system delivers relevant messages during a system failure or not, or whether it saves the crucial data before this failure/crash.

Also known as Flood Testing, Volume Testing belongs to a group of non-functional tests (volume, load, and stress) that are performed to analyze the system performance by increasing the volume of data. This volume can be in general terms, the size of the database or it could be the size of a file interface that is being tested in volume.

A performance testing type, load testing, is performed to assess and analyze the performance of the software, under different and varying load conditions, which makes it crucial to perform it accurately. So, here is a detailed checklist for you to perform load testing without missing any important detail or step.

A type of software testing, Robustness testing assesses the performance of the software under stressed conditions. Testers have to be very careful while preparing test cases, as it is primarily focused on non-functional aspects of a system.

Spike testing, a subset of stress testing, ensures that software works accurately without any failures when there are an unexpected increase and decrease in user load.

"In performance testing, Load limit is both below and above the threshold of a break"
