QUIZ 1, QUIZ 2, PRELIM EXAM

The goal of Performance Testing is to Answer 1

eliminate these. Bottlenecks

This is a type of software testing that intends

to determine how a system performs in
terms of responsiveness and stability under a Answer 2
certain load. Performance Testing

This is a type of performance testing

conducted to evaluate the behavior of a
Answer 3
system at increasing workload.
Load Testing

This is a type of performance testing

conducted to evaluate the behavior of a
system when the load is suddenly and Answer 4
substantially increased. Spike Testing

This determines the maximum user load the Answer 5

software application can handle.  Scalability

This is a type of performance testing

conducted to evaluate the behavior of a
system at or beyond the limits of its Answer 6
anticipated workload. Stress Testing

This is a type of performance testing

conducted to evaluate the behavior of a
system when a significant workload is given Answer 7
continuously. Endurance Testing

This determines if the application is stable Answer 8

under varying loads.  Stability
This determines whether the application Answer 9
responds quickly.  Speed

Its response time, reliability, resource usage,
