Performance Test - A performance test is done to verify that an IT system performs according to the non-functional requirements.
If non-functional requirements are not available a performance test can be done to verify the actual performance before a release.
Per definition ”Load Testing” and “Stress Testing” are two types of Performance Tests.
Load Test - A test that generates transactions to a targeted application with intention of verifying how the application reacts to a specific load.
Stress Test- A stress test is a performance test where the level of load is increased over the expected load in production.
The focus of the test can be to see how a specific function is handling high-load or as a test that generates production-like transactions with a higher than expected throughput.
The goal is to identify what part of the architecture design is limiting the performance and if the application recovers when the load is decreased.
What are performance testing tools? Before an application can be deployed, it should ideally be tested under different operating conditions to make sure it can perform as expected. To do this, software testing professionals use performance testing tools (sometimes just called “testing tools”) to isolate and identify potential client, network, and server bottlenecks that might affect how an application will behave in production.
Some performance test products are commercial....
