Wait, I thought non-functional testing was just about bugs?

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 think option A sounds right because it talks about measuring characteristics, which is what we covered in class.

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.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the different options here. I'll need to review the FSC features more closely to determine the best approach.

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.

I'm not sure Option B is entirely accurate. ISO 9126 is a quality model, not necessarily the sole purpose of non-functional testing.
