Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand stress testing for capacity limits
Stress testing involves pushing the system beyond expected limits to find breaking points and observe behavior under extreme load.Step 2: Evaluate options for best stress test design
Gradually increase users from 1000 to 6000 while monitoring system response and failures gradually increases users beyond 5000 to 6000, monitoring response and failures, which aligns with stress testing goals. Other options either test only once, test fewer users, or do unrelated functional tests.Final Answer:
Gradually increase users from 1000 to 6000 while monitoring system response and failures -> Option BQuick Check:
Gradual increase beyond max = proper stress test [OK]
Quick Trick: Increase load beyond max users gradually [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Testing only once at max users
- Confusing stress test with functional test
- Assuming fewer users prove max capacity
