Performance stress testing is a type of software testing that evaluates how a system behaves under extreme load conditions, such as high traffic, large data volumes, or limited resources, to identify breaking points and failure modes. Engineers and QA teams use tools like JMeter, Gatling, or Locust to simulate these conditions before production deployment. It helps ensure systems can handle peak demand without crashing or degrading badly.
