Which type of performance testing checks software behavior under normal user load?
✗ Incorrect
Load testing simulates normal user load to check software performance.
What does stress testing primarily focus on?
✗ Incorrect
Stress testing pushes software beyond normal limits to find breaking points.
Which metric measures how fast software responds to a request?
✗ Incorrect
Response time measures how quickly software answers a request.
Endurance testing is used to check:
✗ Incorrect
Endurance testing checks if software stays stable during long use.
Which of these is NOT a goal of performance testing?
✗ Incorrect
Performance testing focuses on speed and stability, not security.
