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
Difference between Volume, Load and stress testing in software
Very simply we can put the difference between Volume, Load and stress testing as:
Volume Testing = Large amounts of data
Load Testing = Large amount of users
Stress Testing = Too many users, too much data, too little time and too little room
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.
