Hi Kamal,

Can you tell me how to do Endurance testing. Is it related to Performance testing?? Is there any tools available to do Endurance testing or manually we can do? If you are doing manually can you pls tell me how to find out memory related issues. Can you explain me with some example.

Thanks,
Menaka

It is also called as a soak testing. done to check the prolonged execution of the program in the application or system.

This is a kind of Performance testing. This test is usually done to determine if the application can sustain the continuous expected load. During endurance tests, memory utilization is monitored to detect potential leaks

Hi Menaka

Yes it is related to performance testing. Actually i donot know about any i am doing the manually.i have one core java project. Run Application and Run Jconsole along with application. Increase send data in regular interval then it will shows memory problem and it crashes application. you have to run application near about one to days days it depends upon environment of application.

There was an article in a recent Better Software Magazine (stickyminds.com) about what they called longevity testing that might answer some of your questions:
