Stress testing is taking a system to its limit to see how it behaves, how it deteriorates and what the maximum functional capacity is.
Loading testing aka soak testing is sustained loading the system, rather than testing the limits.
This is useful to burn in hardware to avoid early stage production failures, leaving around 3 year later staggered failures, MTTR / MTBF etc.
