Explain Load, Performance, Stress Testing with an example

Load Testing and Performance Testing are commonly said as positive testing where as Stress Testing is said to be as negative testing.

Say for example if there is an application which can handle 25 simultaneous user logins at a time. In load testing we will test the application for 25 users and check how application is working in this stage, in performance testing we will concentrate on the time taken to perform the operation. Where as in stress testing we will test with more users than 25 and the test will continue to any number and we will check where the application is cracking the Hardware resources.

Writing test cases is one of the major and most important activities which any tester performs during the entire testing cycle. The approach for writing good test cases will be to identify, define and analyse the requirements.
When you begin writing the test cases, there are few steps which you need to follow to ensure that you are writing good test cases

If you are interested then also go through the following article to check a step by step approach to write a good test case:

Here is one more example on this:Test cases for input box which accepts numbers between 1 and 100 using Boundary value analysis:Test cases with test data exactly as the input boundaries of input domain i.e. values 1 and 100 in our case.Test data with values just below the extreme edges of input domains i.e. values 0 and 99.Test data with values just above the extreme edges of input domain i.e. values 2 and 101.

One important aspect about agile software development is the need to reduce the fear of change. An important part of this is to reduce the fear that introducing a change will break something that we already got to work. To combat this fear, we need to be able to run regression tests, and run them fast, frequently and cheaply. This has many implications on how we design and build our tests and test harnesses, how we build our software so it's easy to test, etc.

Another and not entirely unrelated purpose of agile testing is to detect bugs in the process - rather than to detect bugs in the product. Each bug in the product was in theory introduced owing to a flaw in the process, or a flaw in the execution of the process, etc. To make a good stimulus for improving process, the test failures must be regarded as an opportunity to learn how to do things better. It is a big help if the test detects the bug in a very short time (within minutes) of its introduction, while the person or people concerned still remember what they were thinking when they did what they did. It follows that for a team really committed to improving, each and every bug should be analyzed immediately to find out how it came about.

Regression Testing is the execution of all or a select set of test cases which have passed on the previous build or release of the application under test in order to validate that the original features and functions are still working as they were previously. These tests normally will not have already been executed against the current build or release as normally only the new features and functions are tested prior to regression testing.

Retesting is the execution of one or a set of test cases which previously failed due to a suspected defect in the software which now is documented as being remedied.

First of all I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your
mind before writing. I have had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out
there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the
first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just
trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Kudos!
