Q65 / 100

What is the purpose of "load testing" and "stress testing," and how do they differ?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is A) Load testing evaluates how a system performs under expected normal and peak usage conditions; stress testing pushes the system beyond normal operating capacity to identify its breaking point and how it behaves/recovers under extreme conditions

A

Correct Answer

Load testing evaluates how a system performs under expected normal and peak usage conditions; stress testing pushes the system beyond normal operating capacity to identify its breaking point and how it behaves/recovers under extreme conditions

Explanation

Load testing helps verify the system meets performance requirements under realistic conditions, while stress testing reveals how the system fails under extreme load and whether it can recover gracefully afterward.
