defect in handling stress and unusual situations comparison table

Subject have testing strategy have example occur has definition

defect in handling peak loads or missing resources
deny the program under test the resources it normally uses, by employing such methods as deleting files, concurrently running other resource-hungry programs, making less memory available, or disconnecting the system from the network
run a very large number of copies of the program being tested, all at the same time
the absence of code to handle an exception when
a computer becomes short of resources such as memory, disk space or network bandwidth
files or data are missing
the system is not permitted to perform certain operations
the system cannot start new threads
the system runs out of space in a fixed size data structure
A defect that occurs when a computer cannot gracefully handle peak loads or missing resources

inappropriate management of resources run the program intensively over a long period of time in such a way that it uses many resources, relinquishes them and then uses them again repeatedly the absence of code to handle an exception A defect that occurs when a program uses certain resources but does not make them available to other programs when it no longer needs them

incompatibility with specific configurations of hardware or software extensively execute the system with a wide variety of configurations that might be encountered by users a system might fail if a different graphics card is installed, if certain fonts are missing, or a newer or older version of a web browser is installed

insufficient throughput or response time on minimal configurations
perform testing using minimally configured platforms
for extra reliability, test the system in an environment that has a configuration that is worse than the minimum: In such conditions, it should report that it cannot run properly
the absence of code to handle an exception A defect that occurs when the system is tested on a minimal configuration and its throughput or response time fails to meet requirements
