Stress testing is a type of performance testing that evaluates how a system behaves under extreme conditions.
While load testing assesses system performance under expected conditions, stress testing pushes the system beyond its normal capacity to identify breaking points.
Stress testing helps identify system limitations, improve reliability, and prepare for unexpected surges in demand or resource constraints.
Stress testing can reveal performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, data corruption, and security vulnerabilities that may not be apparent under normal conditions.
The frequency of stress testing depends on the system's criticality and update cycle, but it's typically recommended before major releases or significant changes.
Popular stress testing tools include Apache JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling, and Locust, each with its own strengths and use cases.
Stress testing is more extreme than load or endurance testing, focusing on system behavior under severe conditions rather than typical usage scenarios.
Stress testing can be resource-intensive, time-consuming, and may temporarily impact system availability, requiring careful planning and execution.
Companies should consider factors such as the provider's experience, range of tools, reporting capabilities, and understanding of their specific industry requirements.
A comprehensive stress test report should include test scenarios, system performance metrics, identified bottlenecks, and recommendations for improvement.
