You want to design a stress test that gradually increases load until the system fails. Which approach is best?
ARun a single user test repeatedly
BStart with low users and increase stepwise until failure
CStart with maximum users immediately
DTest only with average expected users
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand gradual load increase

    Gradually increasing load helps find the failure point precisely.
  2. Step 2: Compare approaches

    Starting max users immediately risks crashing without data; single user or average load misses limits.
  3. Final Answer:

    Start with low users and increase stepwise until failure -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Gradual load increase finds failure point [OK]
Quick Trick: Increase load stepwise to find breaking point [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Starting with max load immediately
  • Testing only average load
  • Ignoring gradual load steps
