Performance testing is a software testing practice that measures how a system responds in terms of speed, stability, scalability, and resource usage under a given workload. It includes subtypes like load testing, stress testing, and endurance testing, and is used by QA engineers and developers to catch bottlenecks before release. Tools like JMeter, LoadRunner, and k6 are commonly used to automate these tests.
