Performance Testing is performed to determine how fast some aspect of a system performs under a particular workload
Load Testing is conducted to check whether the system is capable of handling an anticipated load
Stress Testing is conducted to check the systems capability beyond the anticipated load
Spike Testing is conducted to check the systems stability when the load is suddenly increased for a short duration
Response Time Testing is conducted to check how long a system takes to complete a requested task
Soak testing is conducted to check the performance problems which occur by running the system at high load for a prolonged period of time
Endurance Testing is conducted to check for memory leaks or other problems that may occur due to prolonged execution
Scalability Testing is performed to determine the additional need of servers to handle the increased load
Throughput Testing is performed to determine the number of transactions handled by the website simultaneously
