Explain the difference between Load Test and Volume Test.- Testing application with large number of data in database is done by volume testing. Where as load testing involves anticipated loads levels for identifying problems among resources response time.
- Load testing is performed under the customer expected configuration with an expected load. Where as volume testing is performed under huge volume of data.
- Volume testing checks if the system behaves as expected for certain volume of data. Volume can be increasing size of the file. On the other hand, load tests checks the performance of the system when the load is increased. Load testing here can be increasing the number of files. Volume testing can be used to measure the throughput while load testing can be used for measuring performance.
