How does the Stress Test work?

[afatac 0]

I have downloaded a trail copy and tested both Performance and Stress Tests.

 

I understand what we are trying to achieve for doing Stress Test. But how does the Stress Test work differently as compared to Performace Test? Both require similar inputs when creating new scenario.

Thanks for the reply, but may be I did not ask the question clearly.

 

See the screenshot for the New Scenario Wizard Page 1.

If I select Stress Test, the suggested values (e.g. no. of virtual users, time duration etc) in subsequent pages are the same as Performance Test. So I am curious how is the Stress Test different from Performance Test in this case....... or they are actually the same in this case?

Yes, the suggested values are the same due to trial limitations.
