Give performance testing approaches.

Performance testing is intended to find whether the system meets its performance
requirements under normal load or abnormal level of activities. Normal load must
be defined by the requirement statement defined by the customer and system design
implements them. Performance criteria must be expressed in numerical terms.
Load Testing
 It helps to identify the maximum operating capacity of an application as well as any
bottlenecks and determine which element is causing degradation.
 Example : If the software operates on peripherals such as printer, or communication
ports, connect as many as you can.
Stress Testing
 It is a type of non-functional testing.
 Stress testing is testing the software under less than ideal conditions.
 So subject your software to low memory, low disk space, slow CPU, and slow modems
and so on.
Security Testing
 Verifies that protection mechanisms built into a system will, in fact, protect it from
improper access.
 As the communication is through virtual network, security becomes an important issue.
