ISTQB Exam CTAL-TTA Topic 3 Question 30 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's CTAL-TTA exam
Question #: 30
Topic #: 3
[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.

I think we should do both stress testing and load testing to cover all bases.

I'm sorry, did you say 'transactional integrity'? I think I just heard a database administrator's heart skip a beat.

You know, with all these integration problems, I'm surprised they're not asking you to do some interoperability testing. Gotta make sure all the pieces work together, right?

Nah, I think scalability testing is the way to go here. Gotta make sure the code can handle increased demand without falling apart.

Hmm, I'd say go with load testing. That'll give you a good idea of how the system performs under normal and peak loads.

That's true, load testing can help us understand how the system handles different loads.

But wouldn't load testing also be important to ensure performance efficiency?

Stress testing all the way! That's the only way to really push the code to its limits and find those weak spots.
