"Performance testing"(性能测试) is a class of tests implemented and executed to characterize and evaluate the performance related characteristics of the target-of-test such as the timing profiles, execution flow, response times, and operational reliability and limits.
"Load testing"(负载测试) - Verifies the acceptability of the target-of-test's performance behavior under varying operational conditions (such as number of users, number of transactions, etc.) while the configuration remains constant.
"Stress testing"(压力测试) - Verifies the acceptability of the target-of-test's performance behavior when abnormal or extreme conditions are encountered, such as diminished resources or extremely high number of users.
<Comment>:Basically Performance testing is the overall process, Load testing checks that the system will support the expected conditions, Stress testing tries to break it (which is the best bit of course!) |
