负载测试:
负载测试是一种性能测试,它确定系统、软件产品或软件应用程序在基于现实生活的负载条件下的性能。
压力测试:
压力测试是一种验证系统稳定性和可靠性的软件测试。该测试特别确定了系统在极重负载条件下的鲁棒性和错误处理能力。
负载测试和压力测试的区别:
Load Testing | Stress Testing |
---|---|
Load Testing is performed to test the performance of the system or software application under extreme load. | Stress Testing is performed to test the robustness of the system or software application under extreme load. |
In load testing load limit is the threshold of a break. | In stress testing load limit is above the threshold of a break. |
In load testing, the performance of the software is tested under multiple number of users. | In stress testing, the performance is tested under varying data amounts. |
Huge number of users. | Too much users and too much data. |
Load testing is performed to find out the upper limit of the system or application. | Stress testing is performed to find the behavior of the system under pressure. |
The factor tested during load testing is performance. | The factor tested during stress testing is robustness and stability. |
Load testing determines the operating capacity of a system or application. | Stress testing ensures the system security. |
