CT-PT: Certified Tester Performance Testing

Question

Which operating conditions in a test script pose risks to the validity of a performance test?

i. Record insertions are aligned with the transaction objective

ii. A component fails within the system under test

iii. The load generator produces a low load level

iv. The database log stays synchronized with the load generator’s time source

v. Virtual users authenticate using distinct IDs

Explanation

A component failure in the system under test invalidates normal performance observations, and a load generator that produces too little load fails to exercise the required workload. Both conditions can make the measured results unrepresentative of the intended performance test.
