Stress testing needs to relate back to some quantifiable spec or requirement. You may think you're stressing the system by loading it up with 100 (simulated) users. But if the spec says the system shall accommodate 1000 users, well then you haven't even scratched the surface.

Stress testing is subjecting the system under heavy load but, denying the required resources for the system to perform (like RAM,Disc..etc). Even if the system fails, it is not cause of worry. The Idea is basically to confirm that the system does not fail in Improper manner. The system should not Corrupt the data / Lose the existing data when it Fails.
