What is durability testing?

Durability testing is performed to ensure that a program can withstand and perform well during unfavorable conditions; this includes being damaged or overloaded with traffic or requests. Durability testing is also known as performance testing.

The program is tested under the following conditions in software testing to make it more secure:

  1. Memory leaks
  2. I/O activity levels
  3. Database resource consumption

Changes are then made to make the program more reliable and define the capacity of a program or the load it can handle without crashing. Input-output resources, database resources, and memory play an important role in assessing durability.
