Stress

Stress testing in software is a type of testing that involves subjecting the software application or system to excessive loads, beyond its normal working capacity. The purpose of stress testing is to identify the breaking point or the performance limits of the software under heavy loads and to determine how it behaves under extreme conditions.

  • The goal is to pinpoint performance bottlenecks, hardware/software faults, and other issues that may arise during peak usage. Detecting these problems in advance allows for proactive measures to ensure the app remains stable and efficient under stressful conditions.
  • PruTAN offers different benchmark scenarios like Constant, Ramp Up & Spike and two different modes of Volume & Duration to achieve the above testings goals under its Stress module.

Let's explore the Stress module of PruTAN further in the upcoming chapters.
