I vaguely recall that non-functional testing isn't just about functional aspects, but I can't remember if it relates to malfunctions or testing coverage.

I feel like I might confuse non-functional testing with compliance testing. Wasn't there something about ISO standards in our practice questions?

I remember non-functional testing is about how the system performs, but I'm not sure if it's just about performance or other qualities too.

Option D is way off. Functional testing and non-functional testing serve different purposes - you can't measure one by the other.

Option C is a bit too narrow. Non-functional testing is about more than just handling software malfunctions - it's about overall system performance and quality.
