Topic #: 4
[All CTAL-TTA Questions]

You are asked to provide a practical and pragmatic testing solution for a commercial system where the main user interface is via the Internet. It is critical that the company's existing good name and market profile are not damaged in any way. Time to market is not a critical issue when appropriate testing solutions are identified to mitigate business risks.

A product risk assessment has revealed the following product risk:

* Abnormal application termination due to connection failure of the main interface.

Which of the following is the appropriate test type to address this risk?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Reliability testing is the process of checking whether the software consistently performs according to its specifications. For a commercial system with a critical internet-based user interface, ensuring that the application can handle connection failures without abnormal terminations is essential. Reliability testing would include testing the system's ability to recover from failures and continue operating, which directly addresses the risk identified.

I see your point, Horace. Performance efficiency testing could also be valuable in this scenario to test the system's response time and resource usage during connection failures.

But wouldn't performance efficiency testing also be important to ensure the system can handle the connection failure without crashing?
