Stress Testing: -------------* Excessive volume in terms of either users or data; examples might include a de nial of service (DoS)

attack or a situation where a widely viewed news item prom pts a large number of users to visit a Web site during a three-minute period. * Resource reduction such as a disk drive failure. * Unexpected sequencing. * Unexpected outages/outage recovery. Stress tests can be of various types: 1. Application stress testing: likely to uncover defects related to data locking and blocking, network congestion, and performance bottlenecks on different comp onents or methods across the entire application. 2. Transactional stress testing: validating behavior under stressful conditions, such as high load with same resource constraints 3. Systemic stress testing: to uncover defects in situations where different app lications block one another and compete for system resources such as memory, pro cessor cycles, disk space, and network bandwidth. 4. Exploratory Stress Testing: Subjecting a system, application, or component to a set of unusual parameters or conditions that are unlikely to occur in the rea l world but are nevertheless possible eg. All of the servers started their sched uled virus scan at the same time during a period of peak load.

Load Testing -----------Load testing of an application involves creation of heavy user traffic, and meas uring its response.

Performance Testing ------------------Finding out thresholds, bottlenecks & limitations is a part of performance testi ng. For this, testing performance under a particular workload is necessary. Functional Testing ------------------Functional testing of both internet and non-internet applications can be perform ed using cloud testing. The process of verification against specifications or sy stem requirements is carried out in the cloud instead of on-site software testin g. Compatibility Testing ---------------------Using cloud environment, instances of different Operating Systems can be created on demand, making compatibility testing effortless. Browser Performance Testing ---------------------------To verify application's support for various browser types and performance in eac h type can be accomplished with ease. Various tools enable automated website tes ting from the cloud. Latency Testing

---------------Cloud testing is utilized to measure the latency between the action and the corr esponding response for any application after deploying it on cloud.
