Stress Testing is a form of performance testing where the application is bound to go through exertion or stress i.e. execution of application above the threshold of the break to determine the point where the application crashes. This condition usually arises when there are too many users and too much of data.
Stress testing also verifies the application recovery when the work load is reduced.
Load Testing is a form of performance testing where the application is executed above various load levels to monitor peak performance of the server, response time, server throughput, etc. Through load testing process stability, performance and integrity of the application are determined under concurrent system load.
