Hi,

Security testing is basically done from the access point of view.As all users should not have access to all parts of the application and to the database.For Example end users will have a view ofthe database they can't modify or inser any data.where as a DBA has all the previliges.Permissions are granted according to the roles of the users at various levels and tsing need's to  be done for it.For major secured applicationsthis testing plays a major role.

performance testing is done to measure the best utilised CPU time with the best output when concurrent users acces the application simultaniously.Depending on the application 50 ,100,150 .... users act as end users and start processing the application and compare the outputs obtained.

Security Testing:

This testing is done to avoid the unauthorised persons to access the application eg: to protect the application from hackers etc.

Performance Testing:

This testing is done to check the performance or behaviour of the application at various load conditions. Mainly to check the behaviour and response time of the application Eg:If a web site is there, check the performance of the site by increasing the number of users. If the application is not opening or taking more time to open then the performance is degraded.
