It depends on the stress test

If you're testing it up to the limit then no, it is not expected.

But if you're pushing it beyond the design limit then yes, it is expected to break.

Some wing tests are done beyond the limit, some are done below the limit (non-destructive tests cost less, that's why they're preferred, but for a new design they might just push it beyond the limit to see when does it effectively fail)
