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.

Stress testing
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 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.
