Actual exam question for iSQI's CTFL-PT_D exam

Question #: 11
Topic #: 4

If Emily is conducting a performance test to determine that a system exposed to a load can respond to a high number of concurrent users during short periods of time that occur on specific days and at specific times, and then return to a stable state.

What type of performance testing is Emily conducting?

SELECT ONE OPTION

AEndurance testing

BSpike testing.

CConcurrency testing.

DLoad testing.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Spike testing involves subjecting a system to a significant increase in load for short periods of time to determine if it can handle sudden spikes in traffic. Emily's scenario of testing a system's response to a high number of concurrent users during specific periods and then returning to a stable state fits the description of spike testing.

I think it's load testing. They're trying to see how the system performs under a heavy load, which sounds a lot like what Aron is describing.

I agree, it does sound like load testing. The system needs to handle a high number of users at specific times.

Ha, that's ironic that I'm the one conducting the test and I'm not even sure which one it is. Maybe I should've paid more attention in class.

I think it's Load testing because she wants to see how the system handles a high number of concurrent users.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Wouldn't this be more like concurrency testing, where you're trying to see how the system handles a lot of users at the same time?
