what is the difference between tester,quality analyst and test engineer?

Also,what is the difference between performance and load testing,if both r for checking the capability of system by simulating/using multiple users?

Performance Testing : To Determine what is speed of the computer or network or software program with the reasonable load.
 
 
load Testing : Test to  the system work under loading. Also determine with the unreasonable load.

Load testing is the process of subjecting a computer, peripheral, server, network or application to a work level approaching the limits of its specifications. 


Performance testing is the process of determining the speed or effectiveness of a computer, network, software program or device. This process can involve quantitative tests done in a lab, such as measuring the response time or the number of MIPS (millions of instructions per second) at which a system functions.

Tester /Test Engineer - Generic Term used to describe the person who performs the testing.

Q A - A person who is responsible for maintaining software quality within an organization.

Diff
Performance testing is perform to check the performance at a given condition or load

Load testing is perform to know the break point for the system

Software Quality Analyst is responsible for applying the principles and practices of software quality assurance throughout the system lifecycle. Through testing, analysis, and observation, a person in this position not only ensures that requirements and standards have been met and processes and procedures followed but also that evidence of unwanted changes/defects has been reported and eliminated and the system retested. A person in this position must be familiar with a variety of testing techniques and tools as well as with various types of testing and their purpose and role in the system life cycle. A Software Quality Analyst is often responsible for establishing testing guidelines and creating or modifying test deliverables, such as plans, test cases/scripts, reports, and evaluations. A person in this position may be part of or lead a Quality Assurance team and must have a fundamental knowledge of networking components and protocols as well as basic structured programming.

Tester / Test Engineer - Tests and critiques software to assure quality and identify potential improvement opportunities and projects. (OR) Is one who tries to break the developers software and in a position to venture the bugs.
 
Test Engineer is a professional who determines how to create a process that would test a particular product in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing - manufacturing , in order to guarantee that the product will be shipped out with good quality. Test engineers are also responsible for determining the best way a test can be performed in order to achieve 100% test coverage of all components using different test process.
 
Difference between performance testing and load testing - Although performance testing and load testing can seen similar, their goals are different. On one hand, performance testing uses load testing techniques and tools for measurement and benchmarking purposes and uses various load levels whereas load testing operates at a predefined load level, the highest load that the system can accept while still functioning properly.

Software Testing is an http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical - empirical investigation conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the product or service under test http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_testing#cite_note-0 - [1] , with respect to the context in which it is intended to operate. Software Testing also provides an objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks at implementation of the software. Test techniques include, but are not limited to, the process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bugs - software bugs . It can also be stated as the process of validating and verifying that a software program/application/product meets the business and technical requirements that guided its design and development, so that it works as expected and can be implemented with the same characteristics.

Software Testing, depending on the testing method employed, can be implemented at any time in the development process, however the most test effort is employed after the requirements have been defined and coding process has been completed.
