Stress testing :is subjecting a system to an unreasonable load while
denying it the resources (e.g., RAM, disc, mips, interrupts, etc.)
needed to process that load. The idea is to stress a system to the
breaking point in order to find bugs that will make that break
potentially harmful. The system is not expected to process the
overload without adequate resources, but to behave (e.g., fail) in a
decent manner (e.g., not corrupting or losing data). Bugs and failure
modes discovered under stress testing may or may not be repaired
depending on the application, the failure mode, consequences, etc.
The load (incoming transaction stream) in stress testing is often
deliberately distorted so as to force the system into resource
depletion.
