Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Testing beyond normal operational capacity is ____ testing.
A
Regression
B
Load
C
Stress
D
Dynamic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stress testing is a form of deliberately intense or thorough testing, used to determine the stability of a given system, critical infrastructure or entity. It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results.

Detailed explanation-2: -Capacity testing looks at whether a software application or environment can handle the amount of traffic it was specifically designed to handle. Volume testing, also called flood testing, is conducted to test how a software application performs with a ranging amount of data.

Detailed explanation-3: -Beyond Normal operational capacity to max operational capacity is Load testing.

Detailed explanation-4: -This type of testing is typically performed during the QA stage of software development. Capacity Testing is also different from Stress Testing, which involves testing beyond operational capacity and subjecting the system to extreme conditions to deliberately try to break the system while observing its behaviour.
