testing - What is the difference between load tests and performance tests? -
what difference between load tests , performance tests? load tests special type of performance tests? if so, provide illustration of performance tests, not load tests?
terminology questions hard because many definitions float around. yet, of time "performance test" wide category of test in @ how software under test behaves technical point of view: time computation, response time of api or ui, memory used on machine, disk footprint etc. , "load test" special case check sut under heavy load (lots of connections server example).
an illustration of perf test not load test? illustration "longevity test": test how sut behaves when runs (under normal load) long time (several days/weeks). test might highlight memory or thread leakage, or find given log file become huge, or find after time, reasons, scheme become unstable.
