What is Performance Testing?

Here’s a simple example:

When a new driver gets their license for the first time, they must first pass two tests. One is written. One is performance. The written test requires no practical application. Only a basic knowledge of the rules of the road. Performance, however, requires them to get behind the wheel of an actual car and show they are proficient. If forced to choose between the two, most people would prefer drivers be tested on their actual skills on the road.

This is the basis by which we measure the value of a test—that it accurately measures what it is supposed to measure.
