Volume Testing
Volume Testing is a type of performance testing that evaluates an application's behavior when it is subjected to a massive amount of data. The goal is to determine if the system can efficiently handle a large volume of data without significant performance degradation or data loss.
Example: A company is migrating millions of customer records to a new database. To perform Volume Testing, the team would run a test that attempts to process and store all these records at once. They would then monitor the system's performance to see if it slows down, crashes, or fails to store any data correctly. This ensures the system is capable of handling large-scale data operations.
