A System Load Testing Task is a system testing task that focuses on system performance and system stability under varying system load conditions.
- Context:
- It can (typically) assess the System Load to ensure the system can handle expected user load.
- It can range from being a Basic System Load Test to being a System Stress Test.
- It can help determine the System Scalability by understanding the system's limits.
- It can evaluate System Response Time and System Throughput during different load levels.
- It can simulate Peak Load Scenarios to prepare for real-world high traffic situations.
- ...
- Example(s):
- Physical System Load Testing, such as:
- Electrical Grid Load Testing (for electrical grids).
- Bridge Load Testing (for bridges).
- Aircraft Load Testing (for aircraft).
- Building Structural Load Testing (for building structures).
- Pipeline Pressure Testing (for pipelines).
- ...
- Software System Load Testing, such as:
- ...
- Physical System Load Testing, such as:
- Counter-Example(s):
- Functional Testing, which focuses on verifying specific functionalities rather than system performance under load.
- Usability Testing, which assesses the user interface and user experience rather than system performance.
