Performance Testing Tasks

Scenario —

You have been asked to performance-test a software and system update for a North American mobile trivia quiz-game application. The quiz app is available through major app stores serving English-speaking users. It is planned to support 5 million concurrent users. Winning quiz participants are promised a share of an allocated cash prize. After participants begin playing, their quiz sessions must not be lost, particularly when all prior questions have been answered correctly. The application owner wants to ensure that 99% of quiz sessions are retained (up to 4.95 million sessions) until the final answer is successfully recorded.

Before your team starts testing, it must present the performance test plan to business stakeholders.

Which of the following sets of plan attributes would you recommend including in this presentation?

Explanation

A stakeholder-facing performance test plan should communicate the business risk, measurable success criteria, test scope and approach, budget, test environment, and operational risks. Maintaining at least 99% of sessions equates to supporting at least 4.95 million users, and the plan should explicitly address the business consequences and risk of testing in production.
