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?

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?

I see your point, but I still think it's concurrency testing to check how the system handles multiple users at once.

Actually, I think it's load testing to measure the system's response under normal and peak load conditions.

I disagree, I believe it's endurance testing to see how the system performs over a long period of time.

Definitely spike testing, that's the one that checks for high concurrent user loads at specific times, right?

Actually, it's Concurrency testing. This type of testing checks how well the system can handle multiple users accessing it at the same time.

I think it's Load testing. It checks the system's ability to handle a specific load over an extended period of time.

Yes, you're correct! Spike testing is the type of performance testing that checks for high concurrent user loads at specific times.
