Question 2

You are managing the testing efforts of an existing distributed system that manages inventories of automobile and light truck tires from multiple warehouses across the country. The system is being enhanced to track incoming restocking shipments at the point of entry to the warehouse and outbound sales shipments at the point of shipment from the warehouse, all of which are executed in real-time. System loads traditionally peak on Mondays due to built-up demand from the previous weekend.
You are preparing a presentation to the business stakeholders, outlining your performance testing strategy.
Which of the following is appropriate to present to this audience?

A. The risks that may exist due to platform differences between the test environment and the production environment

B. Established HTTP response per second goals that will have acceptable minimum, maximum, and average response times

C. A test plan that includes specific technical specifications for the computing hardware to be used for performance testing

D. A comprehensive list of support staff to be available during performance testing, including key members of the application development team

Question 4

You are heading the testing effort for a system that manages the air/fuel ratio of direct-injection fuel devices built specifically for high-altitude rescue helicopter engines. At altitude, the system must be able to perform in order to make enough air/fuel ratio adjustments per millisecond between fuel and both an on-board source and available ambient air in order to prevent an engine stall due to oxygen starvation. The system is following a sequential development lifecycle.
For this safety-critical software, when is the appropriate point in the lifecycle to identify and define the performance goals?

A. During the requirements phase when the business stakeholders have the opportunity to agree

B. At the very beginning of the project during the concept stage

C. After test readiness has been achieved, but before system testing starts

D. During the software design phase when the requirements are set and the design is being defined

Question 5

What challenge must be considered when using crowds to emulate load generation?

A. The load generation will be difficult to reproduce.

B. This type of load generation is more suitable for mainframe applications.

C. This technique is more precise than other methods of load generation.

D. The load generation method is less sensitive to changes in the III.
