Stress Testing evaluates a system’s performance under extreme conditions or loads. It aims to determine how well a system can handle high traffic or reduced resources.
Key Aspects:
- Simulates peak load conditions beyond normal usage.
- Identifies system breaking points and failure modes.
- Assesses recovery capabilities after overloads.
- Helps ensure system stability and reliability under stress.
Stress testing is essential for applications expected to handle varying loads, such as e-commerce platforms during sales events or online services during peak usage times.
