As I refered to stress testing in last article,I choose to talk about it today.
Stress testing involves subjecting the program to heavy loads or stresses.That means heavy reuse or reload one of its functions for a single part.In order to find the performance of this function on stress condition.This should not be confused with volume testing;a heavy stress is a peak volume of data encountered over a short span of time. An analogy is an appraisal of a typist.A volume test is the determination of whether the typist can cope with a draft of a large report;a stress test is the determination of whether the typist can type at a rate of 50 words per minute.
Because stress testing involves an element of time,it is not applicable to many programs.It is applicable,however,to programs that operate under varying loads,or interactive,realtime,and process-control programs.It can be used for the function which suffering from focus and concentrative test before release.This is use it infintely.It will appear at the end of development.Therefore the base functions are steady.On the other hand,it also can be used for locating the position of problems that is the customer's feedback after release.This is also proof tester's keenness and insistency inspirit.If we can use automatical test when we're carrying stress test,the result will be better and it is also better for tester.
Although many stress tests do represent conditions that the program will likely experience during its operational use,other stress tests may truly represent "never will occur" situations,but this does not imply that these tests are not useful.If errors are detected by these "impossible" conditions,the test is valuable,because it is likely that the same errors might also accur in realistic,less-stressful,sitrations.
Above these are my view and some point on my book.I don't konw if I talked clearly.If there is any error,please tell me!Thank for your reading.
