performance testing is only done for online(website)
applications or even offline(desktop) applications

Answer Posted / vishal

Performance testing is basically done to check the effect
of a particular level of stress or load on a application.
For e.g. if an application is designed to handle a load of
1000 users simultaneously, what would be the response of
the application if number of users are increased to say
1100 and so on.(load testing)
Similarly, if a application has been designed to work with
a min configuration of 128mb of RAM we check wht is the
response of the application working with 64 mb of ram
(stress testing)
in the same way u can check ur database response if we
increase the volume of data in it (volume test)
so performance testing can be done both online and offline
