Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 8, Problem 8.8E
Explanation of Solution
Stress Testing:
- Stress testing is defined as the point where the load on a system is deliberately increased beyond its design limit to see how it cope up with the high loads.
- The system should degrade gracefully rather than collapse.
- The main aim of stress testing is to identify application issue which arise or become apparent only under extreme conditions. These conditions consists of heavy loads, high concurrency, or limited computational resources...
