Is performance testing a type of non-functional testing?
Hi Dipen,
Yes, performance testing assesses the system’s speed, responsiveness, and stability under load.
Read more about functional and non-functional testing:
Performance testing is indeed a type of non-functional testing. It focuses on evaluating how a system performs in terms of resource usage, throughput, and scalability under different conditions.
By simulating real-world traffic, performance tests help identify potential bottlenecks that might impact user experience during peak loads.
Yes, performance testing falls under non-functional testing because it doesn’t evaluate specific features or functionalities of the application. Instead, it measures the application’s ability to handle stress, such as high traffic or data processing demands, ensuring that the system can maintain stability and perform optimally in production environments.
