Stress testing is a form of testing that is used to determine the stability of a given system or entity at excessive the i.e. greater than the one the application can handle. It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results.
Stress testing can be performed in two ways. On one hand we can increase the load i.e. increase it beyond the accepted limit and go on increasing this load until the response time of the system falls suddenly. The other way around we can decrease the resources i.e. we can decrease the ram or the hard disk and then check the system’s response time.
