Genislab Technologies- It is a type of non-functional testing.
- Recovery testing is done in order to check how fast and better the application can recover after it has gone through any type of crash or hardware failure etc.

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 Stress testing in software testing? Example,How To Do,Interview Questions,Types
There are many types of performance testing techniques, one of them is stress testing. It refers to the testing of the software in determining whether its performance is satisfactory under extreme load conditions or not.
Most systems are developed for normal operating conditions, therefore if operating conditions become abnormal (for example: if load of simultaneous users visiting the website goes beyond the maximum limit) but your system has undergone stress testing then errors would be negligible even under abnormal conditions.
Even though stress testing is important, most projects do not perform stress testing until the end of their software development life cycle (SDLC), which can have serious consequences, if there are performance issues in the application.

What is Volume testing in software testing?
- It is a type of non-functional testing.
- Volume testing refers to testing a software application or the product with a certain amount of data. E.g., if we want to volume test our application with a specific database size, we need to expand our database to that size and then test the application’s performance on it.

What is Scalability testing in software testing?
- It is a type of non-functional testing.
- Testing the ability of a system, a network, or a process to continue to function well when it is changed in size or volume in order to meet a growing need.
- It is the testing of a software application for measuring its capability to scale up in terms of any of its non-functional capability like load supported, the number of transactions, the data volume etc.
- Example: An ecommerce site may be able to handle orders for up to 100 users at a time but scalability testing can be performed to check if it will be able to handle higher loads during peak shopping seasons.
