Stress Testing
- Basically test the application to ensure how system is behave when large volume of data interact with the system.
- The objective of the stress testing is basically stress the application and check the applications before it is put in to the production environment.
- Normal and abnormal of data was processed during the specific time frame
- Test data can create either with the data used in the production environment or the set of data can create on your own.
- We can also check whether the sufficient disk space is allocated to the application.
- We can also check whether any communication link failure come across at the time of the processing the transactions.
- People you are involving of entering instructions need to the end user you is going to use the application one it is put in to production.
- Stress testing need to break the system by overloading the large number of transactions.
- The disadvantage of stress testing is the amount to time to use to prepare for the test and the amount of resources used for it. However it will helps to take up the decision to whether we make the application live based on the results which will help to reduce the risk.
- It will be done before UAT towards end of the developmental phase.
