Load Test is the testing an application under heavy loads.  
 
Stress Tesing is used to describe the tests as system functional testing under unusual heavy loads, heavy inputs, complex queries to a database system. 
 
Volume testing is the test where the system is subjected to large volumes of data. It can be used in component testing. This would be correlated with the code.  
 
 
Load Testing and Stress Testing - both the terms are interchangeable. Where as Volume Testing comes under Stress testing.

Stress testing means increasing the load ,and cheking the performance at each level. 
Load testing means at a time giving more load by the expectation and cheking the performance at that leval. 
Volume testing means first we have to apply initial load,then at certain time increase the load and check the performance.

Stress test is done to look for the breaking point.ie at what load the application would break.

Load test to check the performance of the applicaiton when the application is simultaneouosly accesssed by various users.

Volume test : Volume of data the application can store and how it affects the performance of the application.

load means estimating the capacity of a server with in design resouce limit.

stress means estimating the failure point of application or server beyound design capacity and design resource limit.

volume testing means testing the appliction for large volume for data is called volume testing. this is mainlyconducted to check the memoryleaks and capacity of the server handling huge volume of data.

Load Testing : To test the performence of the application with volume as constent and increase the number of users up to specific level.

Volume testing : To test the performence of the application with users as constent and increase the volume up to specific level.

Stress Testing : It is used to findout the threshold point.Threshold point means the point at which the system breaks.

1) To test the performence of the application with volume as constent and increse the number of users up to specific level.

2) To test the performence of the application with users as constent and increse the volume up to specific level.

3) This is widely used method.Both users and volume increase up to system breaks.

Load Testing:- Testing of an apllication under heavy loads such as a website under range of heavy loads at waht point of the system response time degrads or fails.

Valume testing:- large number of data u will give at a time and see the response.

Stress testing:- stress Tesing is used to describe the tests as system functional testing under unusual heavy loads, heavy inputs, complex queries to a database system

 

and also Stress testing and performence testing both is same.

Load Testing:Statistical Represntative load is applied

Stress Testing:Abnormal load is applied

Volume Testing : gradually increase the load check the performance

All the above three comes under performance

LOAD TESTING:-This test is conducted by increasing the no.of users under customer expected configuration and requirement

STRESS TESTING:-This test is conducted by increasing the no.of users up to peak leval to findout on what point the systen is giving error message

volume testing:- Idon't know

stress testing:Testing conducted to evaluate a system or component at or beyond the limits of its specified requirements to determine the load under which it fails and how. Often this is performance testing using a very high level of simulated load.

load testing:Testing conducted to evaluate the compliance of a system or component with specified performance requirements. Often this is performed using an automated test tool to simulate large number of users. Also know as "Load Testing".

Volume testing:Testing which confirms that any values that may become large over time (such as accumulated counts, logs, and data files), can be accommodated by the program and will not cause the program to stop working or degrade its operation in any manner.
