How does load testing differ from stress testing in API performance testing?

  • Evaluates the system's behavior under extreme conditions beyond its normal capacity.
  • Focuses on identifying bottlenecks and potential failures under normal conditions.
  • Measures the system's capability to handle a specific load without performance degradation.
  • Tests the system's stability and robustness during prolonged use.
Load testing simulates expected load, while stress testing pushes the system to its limits to identify breaking points. Stress testing helps uncover vulnerabilities under extreme conditions that load testing may not reveal.
