[All CT-PT Questions]

Which of the following is considered a characteristic of stress testing?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Stress testing is designed to evaluate how a system behaves under extreme conditions, often exceeding its design limitations. The goal is to identify bottlenecks, memory leaks, and failures that occur beyond normal operating conditions.

Option A is incorrect because it refers to resilience testing, which focuses on recovery rather than stress beyond limits.

Option B is incorrect as it describes load testing, which measures performance under expected loads.

Option C is incorrect since determining the maximum transactions is a feature of capacity testing, not stress testing.

But stress testing is about pushing the system beyond its limits, so D makes sense.

I agree with Fausto. Option D is the clear winner here. Stress testing is about pushing the system beyond its design limits.

Option D seems the most accurate. Stress testing is all about evaluating the system's limits, not just its normal operating conditions.
