A workload is the amount of work a system has to perform in a given time. In the performance field, a workload usually refers to the combined load placed on an application by the set of clients it services. A database workload can be defined as a set of statements that you execute against a database server that you want to tune.
Basically, a workload simulator aims to help in performance analysis, and it is important that it reproduces repeatable results. If the workload is run several times in an identical fashion, it should produce results that are almost identical.
Stress testing is a part of the process of performance testing which tries to identify the breaking point in a system under test by overwhelming its resources or by taking resources away from it. The main purpose of a stress test is to find the infrastructure problems within an installation. It can also be used for hardware sizing, system tuning, or benchmarking.
