About Stress Testing
Stress
Testing is a software testing technique that determines the robustness
of software by testing beyond the limits of normal operation. Stress
testing is particularly important for critical software but is used for
all types of software. Stress testing emphasizes robustness,
availability, and error handling under a heavy load rather than on what
is correct behavior under normal situations.
Why is Stress Testing important?
Stress testing is also extremely valuable for the following reasons:
• To check whether the system works under abnormal conditions.
• Displaying appropriate error messages when the system is under stress.
• System failure under extreme conditions could result in enormous revenue loss
• It is better to be prepared for extreme conditions by executing Stress Testing.
