Performance testing tools are basically for system level testing, to see whether or not the system will stand up to a high volume of usage. A load testing is to check that the system can handle its expected number of transactions. A volume testing is basically to check that the system can handle a large amount of data, e.g. many fields in a record, many records in a file, etc. A stress testing is one that goes beyond the normal expected usage of the system (to see what would happen outside its design expectations), with respect to load or volume.

What is Dynamic analysis tools in software testing?
Dynamic analysis tools are ‘dynamic’ because they require the code to be in a running state. They are ‘analysis’ rather than ‘testing’ tools because they analyze what is happening ‘behind the scenes’ that is in the code while the software is running (whether being executed with test cases or being used in operation).

What are Security testing tools in software testing?
There are many tools that protect systems from external attack. Like firewall, this is very important for any system.
Security testing tools can be used to test security of the system by trying to break it or by hacking it. The attacks may focus on the network, the support software, the application code or the underlying database. [Read more…] about What are Security testing tools in software testing?
What is Coverage measurement tools in software testing?
These tools are mostly used by developers.
Coverage tools helps in checking that how thoroughly the testing has been done. [Read more…] about What is Coverage measurement tools in software testing?
What is Test comparators in software testing?
A test comparator helps to automate the comparison between the actual and the expected result produced by the software. [Read more…] about What is Test comparators in software testing?
