Explanation
Security testing is a type of functional testing specifically focused on evaluating system vulnerabilities and protection mechanisms against malicious threats like viruses, malware, and unauthorized access from outsiders. It tests authentication, authorization, encryption, and other security controls. Recovery testing deals with system restoration after failures, performance testing measures system responsiveness under load, and functionality testing validates features work as specified - none of these focus on threat detection.
