soaktest
Soak test, also known as endurance testing, is a type of performance testing in which a software system is subjected to a significant workload for an extended period to observe its behavior over time. The goal is to identify issues that only appear after prolonged operation, such as resource leaks, gradual degradation, data corruption, or stability problems under steady load.
A soak test examines how the system handles sustained use, including memory and resource utilization, file
During a soak test, metrics such as response time, throughput, error rate, CPU and memory usage, disk
Common targets include web applications, databases, message queues, batch processors, and microservices architectures. It differs from
Best practices include defining clear acceptance criteria, using realistic and varied workloads, gradually extending test duration,
