Actual exam question for ISTQB's CTAL-TTA exam
Question #: 28
Topic #: 6
[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'm gonna have to go with scalability testing on this one. Gotta make sure the system can handle future growth and expansion, right?

Hmm, I'd say load testing is the way to go. That'll give you a good idea of how the system performs under real-world conditions.

Load testing focuses on determining the system's behavior under normal and peak load conditions, while stress testing pushes the system beyond its limits to identify weaknesses. I still think stress testing is the way to go.

But what about load testing? Wouldn't that also help us identify performance issues?

Definitely go with stress testing. That's the best way to uncover those weak spots and see how the system holds up under pressure.

I think we should do stress testing to identify the problematic areas.

I agree with Kasandra, stress testing will help us find weaknesses in the code.
