stress testing

subject fact

stress testing has definition Testing on minimal configurations and at peak loads or with missing resources 2001-08-30 14:57:48.0
is a subtopic of 10.6 - Defects in Handling Stress and Unusual Situations
is a kind of testing

testing can find defects whose consequences are obvious but which are buried in complex code, and thus will be hard to detect when inspecting 2001-08-30 14:57:56.0
involves thinking of what could go wrong without actually studying the software
is complementary to inspecting
requires attention to detail
