Multiple choice technology testing

Software requirement specifies “A system can store upto 10 MB of data.”. Testing the system with 100 MB of data is which type of testing:

  3. Functional Testing

  4. Regression Testing
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Stress testing pushes a system beyond its specified limits to find breaking points. Since the requirement states 'up to 10 MB' but we're testing with 100 MB (10x the documented limit), this is stress testing - we're intentionally exceeding normal capacity to observe failure behavior. Load testing tests expected load (within specifications). Functional testing verifies features work as specified. Regression testing checks that changes don't break existing functionality. Option B is correct.
