Load and stress testing are generally thought of in terms of system performance degradation. However, applications running under extreme load conditions can actually experience functional failures that are not manifested under "normal" operating conditions. These can be application crashes, exposing security vulnerabilities, or unexpected application results (e.g., intermixing transaction data due to buffer overflows under high load).
Example:- In real time, when the stock market crashes(in India), most of the Security / Stock trading portal systems will not be responding or you can crashed in the application due to heavy user load or stress on the application.
