软件测试中的 Soak testing 是什么意思，如何做的？

浸泡测试（soak test）：Soak test是在一个稳定的并发用户上进行的long run测试，用来测试应用程序的健壮性。通过soak test往往可以发现内存泄露，频繁 GC
等严重性能问题。进行soak test需要注意以下两点：
Soak test需要在一定适中的用户负载量下进行，最好低于应用支持最大的负载量。
在执行long run测试时，采用几种不同用户组，并且每个用户组织性不同的业务流程。

Soak
test实际上比较简单的性能测试，测试最好能够运行几天，以真正得到一个健壮的应用。确保应用测试是贴近真实世界，尽量与实际使用情况接近。

Soak testing involves testing a system with a significant load extended over a significant period of time, to discover how the system behaves under sustained use.
For example, in software testing, a system may behave exactly as expected when tested for 1 hour. However, when it is tested for 3 hours, problems such as memory leaks cause the system to fail or behave randomly.
Soak tests are used primarily to check the reaction of a subject under test under a possible simulated environment for a given duration and for a given threshold. Observations made during the soak test are used to improve the characteristics of the subject under test further.
In electronics, soak testing may involve testing a system up to or above its maximum ratings for a long period of time. Some companies may soak test a product for a period of many months, while also applying external stresses such as elevated temperatures.
This falls under stress testing.

个人意见，按字面意义，翻译成“沉浸测试”是不是略好一点。
