ISTQB Exam CT-PT Topic 3 Question 2 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's CT-PT exam
Question #: 2
Topic #: 3
[All CT-PT Questions]

Which of the following is a key reason to include ramp-up and ramp-down periods in a performance test?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

A ramp-up period in a performance test gradually increases load over time, and a ramp-down period does the opposite. This prevents sudden surges in system load, making test results more realistic.

Option A (Ensuring transactions complete in a time window) is incorrect because ramp-up/down periods do not control transaction timing.

Option C (Providing a buffer for slow transactions) is incorrect because ramp-up/down is about load balancing, not transaction timing.

Option D (Keeping all virtual users active throughout the test) is incorrect because ramp-down periods reduce users gradually.
