Stability Testing is a type of non-functional testing that evaluates a system’s ability to perform reliably over an extended period under varying loads and conditions. It ensures that the software remains stable, responsive and free from crashes or performance degradation.
Key Objectives:
- Assess Long-Term Performance: Ensures the system functions correctly over prolonged use.
- Identify Memory Leaks & Resource Issues: Detects issues like memory leaks that may cause system failure.
- Evaluate System Behaviour Under Stress: Checks how the system handles sustained or peak loads.
- Ensure Uptime & Reliability: Confirms that the application does not degrade over time.
