Abstract A stress test is a vital element of software system testing. Although experiential methods have already been proposed, no systematic design method using models has been proposed. In this paper the authors first survey the viewpoint of experienced engineers, then clarify the importance of focusing on resources. Next they expand their concept of resources, then perform a causal analysis of problems using a resource state model. Based on these causes, the authors propose a design method and design process for stress test items. In addition, the authors provide an applied example of their proposed method. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
