Stress Testing Practice Exam
Stress Testing Practice Exam
Stress Testing, also known as torture testing, is a sort of testing that is used to determine the stability of the given software system. The most evident use of stress testing is to determine the limit, at which the system or software/hardware terminates. It also checks the system’s capability to demonstrate effective error management under extreme conditions. The software development department needs stress testing in case of any system failure and prepares themselves beforehand by executing stress testing. Moreover, stress testing can also be placed in contrast with load testing.
Roles and Responsibilities
Some of the major roles and responsibilities of stress testing professionals are as follow:
- Plan the stress test when the functional stability of the application gets established
- Ensure the number of users must not be directly proportional to the response time
- Execute the stress test for short duration
- Build large amount of unique data in the data pool
