Software Quality Assurance Questions
Stress testing is a software testing technique used to evaluate the performance and stability of a system under extreme or unfavorable conditions. It involves subjecting the system to high levels of stress, such as heavy user loads, high data volumes, or limited system resources, to identify any weaknesses or vulnerabilities. The objective of stress testing is to determine the system's breaking point and ensure that it can handle unexpected or peak loads without crashing or degrading performance.
