Testing Fundamentals - Non-Functional Testing
How can combining stress testing with monitoring CPU and memory usage help improve system reliability?
AIt reduces the number of users needed for testing
BIt replaces the need for functional testing
CIt guarantees the system will never fail
DIt identifies resource bottlenecks causing failures under load
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand monitoring during stress tests

    Monitoring CPU and memory shows where resources limit system performance.

  2. Step 2: Evaluate benefits

    Identifying bottlenecks helps fix issues; other options are incorrect or unrealistic.

  3. Final Answer:

    It identifies resource bottlenecks causing failures under load -> Option D

  4. Quick Check:

    Monitoring reveals bottlenecks during stress [OK]
Quick Trick: Monitor resources to find failure causes [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking monitoring reduces test users
  • Believing monitoring prevents all failures
  • Confusing stress testing with functional testing
