LOAD TESTING QUIZ

1 load testing quiz

Software Testing

is a process of evaluating a software application to determine whether it behaves according to its requirements and to identify defects, errors, or unexpected behavior.

Functional testing

evaluates what the system does. it checks whether individual features and functions behave according to requirements

Non-functional testing

evaluates how well the system operates. instead of focusing solely on individual features it examines characteristics

Performance

refers to how efficiently and effectively a system responds to workloads and user request

Performance testing

is a type of non-functional software testing used to determine how a system behaves in terms of speed, responsiveness., stability, scalability and resource utilization under a particular workload.

Load testing

is performance evaluation technique where we simulate the expected number of users or transactions on a system to measure its responsiveness, stability, and overall behavior.

Concurrent users

are users interacting with a system during the same period.

It identifies performance problems before deployment.

a system may work perfectly during development because only one or two developers are using it.

It identifies bottleneck

is a component that limits overall system performance

It improves user experience

users expect responsive systems

It supports scalability planning

testing helps developers understand whether their architecture can supporting increasing workloads.

Slow response time

pages or functions take too long

Timeouts

the application takes so long that the request expires

Server errors

under heavy traffic, users may encounter

Application crash

the application may stop responding completely

High resource utilization

this may indicate that the system is approaching resource limits

Database

slow queries, missing indexes, excessive database requests, too many simultaneous connections, poor database design

Performance degradation

user 10 = 0.8sec, users 50 = 1.2sec, users 100 = 2.1sec, users 200 = 5.8sec, users 300 = 14.5sec
