BCS Exam ASTQB Topic 4 Question 27 Discussion
Topic #: 4
You are responsible for performance testing for a new hybrid mobile application that will run on smartphones. The application will use the phone's GPS capability to determine the altitude of the phone. This information will be used to send information to the user indicating the change in their ''safe limit'' for alcohol consumption. You expect your highest usage of the system to be on New Years Eve when many people are skiing at high altitudes and will need to check their safe limit. For the first year of usage, 5,000 concurrent users are expected to use the application on that one evening.
Given this information, what is the best approach to use for conducting the performance test?
A is correct. Simulators are the best approach for this testing because a large number are needed and specific altitude readings can be programmed into the simulator. B is not correct because there is no need to interact with the phone's hardware to do this test. The altitude information can be programmed into the simulator. C is not correct because that would just complicate the tests and simulators alone will be sufficient. D would be difficult to manage and getting 5000 concurrent users before New Years Eve might be impossible.
