Slightly digressing here -- but test and performance are different 
(perhaps even orthogonal) concerns.

Testing[1] IMO is about "Functional Requirements" -- that the software 
meets the requirements and is bug free

Performance[2] IMO is about "Non-functional Requirements" -- that the 
software should be as-fast-as-possible and should have certain 
characteristics under high load.

Would it make sense to split them into two different buckets to make 
this distinction clear ?

Cheers!
