Stress testing is a type of performance testing in which a system is subjected to a workload beyond the limits of its normal operations to determine how it behaves under such scenarios. The primary objective of stress testing is to identify bottlenecks, evaluate system response times, and detect any flaws or failures when the system is under stress.
With the demand for products and services going off the roof, software services experience insanely high amounts of stress at unexpected times. It calls for a method that ensures optimal performance regardless of the stress.
