Performance appraisal or performance evaluation is the process of measuring an individual's work behaviors and outcomes against the expectations of the job.

Performance appraisal is frequently used in promotion and compensation decisions, to help design and validate personnel selection procedures, and for performance management.

Performance management is the process of providing performance feedback relative to expectations and improvement information ( e. g., coaching, mentoring ).

Performance management may also include documenting and tracking performance information for organization-level evaluation purposes.

According to Campbell's Model of The Determinants of Job Performance, job performance is a result of the interaction between declarative knowledge ( knowledge of facts or things ), procedural knowledge ( knowledge of what needs to be done and how to do it ), and motivation ( reflective of an employee's choices regarding whether to expend effort, the level of effort to expend, and whether to persist with the level of effort chosen ).

Performance testing is a subset of performance engineering, an emerging computer science practice which strives to build performance into the implementation, design and architecture of a system.

Performance testing can be combined with stress testing, in order to see what happens when an acceptable load is exceeded – does the system crash?

Analytical Performance Modeling is a method to model the behaviour of an system in a spreadsheet.

The U. S. Office of Personnel Management ( OPM ) indicates that Performance Management consists of a system or process whereby:

Performance is judged on a points system in each event, not by the position achieved.

In electrically powered heat pumps, the heat transferred can be three or four times larger than the electrical power consumed, giving the system a Coefficient of Performance ( COP ) of 3 or 4, as opposed to a COP of 1 of a conventional electrical resistance heater, in which all heat is produced from input electrical energy.

* Mental Performance Index, first ever mental scoring system in sport by Dr. John F. Murray

Performance tuning is the improvement of system performance.

Performance engineering is the discipline encompassing roles, skills, activities, practices, tools, and deliverables used to meet the non-functional requirements of a designed system, such as increase business revenue, reduction of system failure, delayed projects, and avoidance of unnecessary usage of resources or work.

An early example of this is in turbo charged Saab H engines, where a system called Automatic Performance Control was used to reduce boost pressure if it caused the engine to knock.
