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.

Woah, this is a tough one. I'm gonna go with C) Concurrency testing, but I'm also wondering if the answer is 'all of the above'. Isn't that how these tricky exam questions work?

Easy peasy, it's B) Spike testing. The question even mentions 'specific days and at specific times', which is classic spike testing.

Hmm, I'm not sure. It could be either B) Spike testing or D) Load testing. I'm leaning towards D) since the question talks about 'a high number of concurrent users'.

I think C) Concurrency testing is the right answer here. The question mentions 'a high number of concurrent users', so that's the key focus.

Definitely B) Spike testing. That's exactly what the question is describing - testing the system's response to sudden and high traffic loads.
