Stress testing in computational architecture is a process where a system or a software application is tested for its performance under extreme loads and unfavorable conditions. The objective of stress testing is to evaluate the behavior of a system when it operates under high traffic, resource constraints, and peak loads that can cause the system to fail. This testing approach is used to validate the resilience, scalability, and stability of the system so that it can withstand high loads and continue to function properly. The test results provide information about the system's capacity and identify any design flaws or bottlenecks that need to be addressed before the system can be deployed in a production environment.
