As performance testing is regarded as black box type so why it required development skills?
A:
If you are writing a program that is writing say 10,000 transactions to a database, do you want to find out about performance problems when the testers get to it or would you like to know about it beforehand?
the later you leave it the harder it is to fix!

Performance tests often require a fair amount of development. Testers aren't just sitting there hitting "Refresh" in Firefox. You've got to simulate those 1,000 simultaneous clients, and that often requires some coding.

A:
Maybe not "Development Skills", but to make a serious analysis of the test results, and to find where a bottle neck is (among other issues), you'll need a good technical knowledge on the system platform.
