Vergiss mal die Antwort, weil:

Soak testing is running a system at high levels of load for prolonged periods of time. A soak test would normally execute several times more transactions in an entire day (or night) than would be expected in a busy day, to identify any performance problems that appear after a large number of transactions have been executed.

Also, it is possible that a system may ‘stop’ working after a certain number of transactions have been processed due to memory leaks or other defects. Soak tests provide an opportunity to identify such defects, whereas load tests and stress tests may not find such problems because soak tests usually have relatively short duration.

Ob\'s dafür \'nen deutschen Begriff gibt???

  -> Danke!

agree  Steffen Walter: In Deine engl. Def. hat sich ein Fehler eingeschlichen: Im letzten Satz müsste es m.E. "...because *these* [load & stress] tests usually have relatively short duration" heißen. Vorher wird ja gesagt "soak testing...prolonged periods..."/ Ja, mach mal ;-))

\"Dauertest unter Höchstlast\" wäre noch eine Möglichkeit.
