Meaning of Load Testing is to provide constantly or steadily load for a software to check that how software is responding in increasing load without significant performance degradation. Load Testing is put load over the system to check the response. We increase the limit until the threshold limit. In Load Testing we determine the system limit in normal load and peak load limit of the system. If we increase the load then peak to check system response this will called the Stress Testing.
A Load test enable you to measure response times, throughput rates and resource utilization levels and to identify out application's breaking point.
So in Load Testing we check the threshold limit of the system that the how much load a system to bear. Load Testing is the non functionality Testing.
Load Testing is needed where multiple users accessing the same function concurrently so in here we need to verify that how much user can access same function concurrently and set the threshold so that if more then threshold user access the same function, we can put some condition so that we can save the data lost.
In Load Testing we check that if number of user increased then how our system using the Network, CPU , Memory and what is the response time of the system.
In Load Testing, we can generate a virtual environment to match with real environment to check that how our system will behave in real environment.
Load Testing can be performed in two ways.

Load Testing can be performed in two ways.
- Endurance Testing: Also called Soak Testing. In this testing, we provide the continues significant load for significant time to test the application. Suppose you are testing a function in 1 hour and then you testing the same function for 3 hours so when more time then there may be chance of Memory Leaks issue.
- Volume Testing: In this type of Testing, We put the huge load for the limited time to check the behavior of the Application. Suppose you want the Volume Test then you need to increase the size of the database so that it can accept the heavy load so in this testing we check the performance of database with increasing volume.
Example of Load Testing
- Downloading a series of large file from Internet
- Running multiple application on Computer or Server simultaneously
- Assigning many jobs to printer in a queue
- Subjecting to a server with large amount of email traffic
- Reading and writing the data from a file simultaneously.
