Volume testing is a kind of non-functional testing. As the name says the volume testing is performed to see the behave of the system over a large volume of data.
As an example we can take an application which is performing very well but there are very users for that application. But in future the number of users will keep growing and growing. Hence we would want to see the response of the system over a larger volumes.The purpose of volume testing is to determine system performance with increasing volumes of data in the database.
Also we can take an example of online ticket booking. Suppose a alrge number of users started booking tickets. So here we need to see that how the system is responding over a large volumes. We can also check that the correct data is saved without failure.
Volume test shall check if there are any problems when running the system under test with realistic amounts of data, or even maximum or more. Volume test is necessary, as ordinary function testing normally does not use large amounts of data,rather the opposite.
