different types of app. testing.

Can some one explain the differeces between these? Unit Testing
Load Testing
Stress Testing
Regression Testing.


unit test = a developer testing a small part of an application
load test = putting an application under some kind of load, this would normally simulate a realistic or predicted application usage pattern
stress test = putting an application under stress, aiming to find a breakage point in the application
regressing test = a large coverage function test which aims to ensure that the parts of the application that were not changed still work as they did before Cheers
