ISTQB Exam CTAL-TTA Topic 2 Question 20 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's CTAL-TTA exam
Question #: 20
Topic #: 2
[All CTAL-TTA Questions]

You are working on a project that is integrating code from multiple development groups. There have been numerous integration problems, particularly regarding reliability, error recovery and transactional integrity. You are now responsible for planning the performance efficiency testing for this product. There Is a strong feeling among the development managers that some parts of the code are weaker than others and will tend to exhibit problems during the performance efficiency testing. To identify these problematic areas as soon as possible, which type of testing should you do?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Stress testing is the most appropriate method for identifying weak areas in code that may cause performance issues, especially under conditions of extreme load or stress. This type of testing deliberately pushes the system beyond its normal operational capacity to see how it behaves under stress, which can help reveal vulnerabilities in error recovery and transactional integrity that are not apparent under normal conditions. Stress testing can provide early insights into potential failure points and help prioritize areas for improvement before full-scale deployment.

Let's focus on stress testing first, then we can move on to scalability testing if needed.

Stress testing is the obvious choice. I'm picturing the developers sweating bullets as the system crumbles under pressure. *chuckles*

Stress testing is definitely the way to go. We need to see how the system holds up under pressure.

But what about scalability testing? Shouldn't we consider that too?

Interoperability testing? Really? That's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. We need to focus on the core issues here.

Hmm, I think scalability testing is the way to go. We need to ensure the system can handle increasing workloads without compromising performance.

I'd go with load testing. We need to simulate real-world conditions and see how the system handles the influx of data and requests.

C) Stress testing might also be a good option. We need to push the system to its limits to identify any weak areas.

A) Load testing sounds like the way to go. We need to see how the system performs under heavy loads.

Stress testing for sure! We need to push the system to its limits and see where it breaks.
