A load test report shows throughput of 100 requests per second and average response time of 8 seconds. What does this imply?
ASystem processes many requests but responds slowly
BSystem is fast and handles few requests
CSystem has low throughput and fast response
DSystem is idle with no requests processed
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand throughput and response time

    High throughput means many requests processed; high response time means slow replies.
  2. Step 2: Interpret the report values

    100 requests/sec is high throughput; 8 seconds response is slow, so system is slow but busy.
  3. Final Answer:

    System processes many requests but responds slowly -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    High throughput + high response time = slow but busy system [OK]
Quick Trick: High throughput with high response time means slow responses [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming high throughput means fast response
  • Confusing throughput with response time
  • Thinking system is idle with these metrics
