Genislab TechnologiesPerformance 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.

Load testing
What is Load testing in software testing? Examples,How To Do,Importance, Differences
Load testing is a type of non-functional testing. A load test is type of software testing which is conducted to understand the behavior of the application under a specific expected load. Load testing is performed to determine a system’s behavior under both normal and at peak conditions.
Load testing one among the different kinds of performance testing that determines the performance of the system in real time load conditions. It is basically used to ensure that the application performs satisfactorily when many users try to access or use it at the same time.
What is Non-functional testing (Testing of software product characteristics)?
In non-functional testing the quality characteristics of the component or system is tested. Non-functional refers to aspects of the software that may not be related to a specific function or user action such as scalability or security. Eg. How many people can log in at once? Non-functional testing is also performed at all levels like functional testing.
