Soak Testing

Soak Testing—also known as endurance testing—evaluates your system’s performance under a continuous, steady load over an extended period. This method is essential for uncovering issues that only appear after prolonged use, such as memory leaks, resource depletion, or gradual performance degradation. By maintaining the expected load for hours or even days, soak testing ensures long-term stability and helps you plan for sustained high-traffic periods.
