似乎是负载测试。作者: jlsv 时间: 2008-2-9 20:53
感觉load test 是一个统称。我们常说的压力测试，负载测试，性能测试。其实都是load test 的一个组成部分
只不过我们的目的不同。另外上述三个测试其实他们也有重叠的部分，所以感觉会有些迷惑。
一句话，就是检查系统处于某一给定的压力下的表现情况。

Stress testing is running the software under less-than-ideal conditionslow memory, low disk space, slow CPUs, slow modems, and so on. Look at your software and determine what external resources and dependencies it has. Stress testing is simply limiting them to their bare minimum. Your goal is to starve the software. Does this sound like boundary condition testing? It is.
Load testing is the opposite of stress testing. With stress testing, you starve the software; with load testing, you feed it all that it can handle. Operate the software with the largest possible data files. If the software operates on peripherals such as printers or communications ports, connect as many as you can. If you're testing an Internet server that can handle thousands of simultaneous connections, do it. Max out the software's capabilities. Load it down.
