Why each option
Performance testing is specifically designed to evaluate how a system performs under various workloads and to identify its capacity and stability thresholds.
Reliability testing focuses on ensuring a system consistently performs its intended functions under specified conditions over a period of time.
Performance testing involves evaluating a system's speed, responsiveness, and stability under a particular workload, which includes identifying the system's breaking point or maximum capacity. This process helps to determine its performance thresholds by simulating user load and resource consumption to ensure it meets requirements under anticipated and peak conditions.
Regression testing is conducted after changes are made to a system to ensure that the new changes have not adversely affected existing functionalities.
Functional testing verifies that each function of the software operates according to the requirements specifications.
