Non-functional testing Printed From: One Stop Testing Category: Types Of Software Testing @ OneStopTesting Forum Name: Functional Testing @ OneStopTesting Forum Discription: Discuss All that is need to be known about Functional Software Testing and its Tools. URL: http://forum.onestoptesting.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=228 Printed Date: 17Dec2024 at 9:20am Topic: Non-functional testing Posted By: Ranjit Subject: Non-functional testing Date Posted: 23Feb2007 at 3:49pm The scope of performance testing is not well defined and varies from creating scripts and running tests in its narrow definition to all kinds of performance-related activities when synthetic workload is applied to the system in its wide definition. And the wide definition often includes performance analysis, performance troubleshooting / diagnostics, tuning, and capacity planning making the word “testing” to be rather disguising the substance of what it behind. The difference behind these definitions can partly explain the wide range of opinions about a path from functional testing to performance testing: while the path from automated functional testing to “narrow definition” performance testing is quite straightforward, skills required by other areas of “wide definition” performance testing are quite different.
