Non-functional testing
 |
Non-functional testing system testing is testing how well the system operates within specified requirements laid in out normally in a functional specification document about the software. Unlike *functional testing which checks what the system does and test's against this, Non-functional testing identifies how it does under certain conditions and test's against this. Non-functional testing is a very specific form and due to this *Test Analysts may actually specialize in this area. Generic *Test Analysts will not perform this type of software test generally.
