Stress or Load Testing Tools

The difference between stress testing and load testing is that stress testing focuses on how the website or system can be broken and load testing concentrates on how much volume the website or system can handle. Both of these aspects can be absolutely vital for a website to function properly once visitor levels start to increase. If your peak season is the runup to Christmas and the number of users rises dramatically during this time in order to purchase items only to find that the website has fallen over due to the increased load then this could affect your entire Christmas season.

The stress testing and load testing tools presented here should help to make sure that any issues of this nature are identified so that remedial action can be carried out in advance of real user issues.
