Software Performance

Topic

Software performance refers to the measure of how effectively a software application or system executes its tasks under a given workload, typically evaluated in terms of speed, responsiveness, resource utilization, and stability. It is a critical non-functional requirement that directly impacts user experience, operational efficiency, and hardware resource consumption. Issues in software performance, often referred to as performance bottlenecks, can lead to slow response times, high latency, and system instability.
