Conducting unit level, performance, robustness, and vulnerability testing is categorized as which type of testing?

• A. Functional Testing
• B. Technical Testing
• C. Security Assessment
• D. Compliance Testing

Answer: (B)

This centers on evaluating the software’s technical quality and non-functional attributes. Unit testing examines individual components in isolation, while performance testing looks at speed and scalability, robustness testing checks how the system handles faults and unusual conditions, and vulnerability testing searches for security weaknesses. Collectively, these activities focus on how the system operates from a technical standpoint rather than whether it delivers particular features, complies with standards, or satisfies business requirements. Functional testing validates features, compliance testing ensures standards adherence, and security assessment targets security posture specifically. So this set fits under technical testing.
