Testing Fundamentals - Non-Functional Testing
Which of the following situations is an example of a stress test?
ATesting if a login button works as expected
BSimulating 10,000 users accessing a website simultaneously to find breaking points
CChecking if the application meets design specifications
DVerifying that error messages display correctly on invalid input
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify stress test characteristics
Stress tests involve pushing the system beyond normal limits to identify failure points.
Step 2: Analyze options
Only Simulating 10,000 users accessing a website simultaneously to find breaking points describes a scenario with extreme load to test system robustness.
Final Answer:
Simulating 10,000 users accessing a website simultaneously to find breaking points -> Option B
Quick Check:
Stress test = pushing system beyond normal load [OK]
Quick Trick:Stress test = pushing system to failure point [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
Confusing functional tests with stress tests
Assuming normal load tests are stress tests
Mixing usability testing with stress testing
