ASTQB Exam - Topic 2 Question 110 Discussion

Actual exam question for ASTQB's ASTQB exam

Question #: 110
Topic #: 2

You have information from production that the previous version of your product has had a high rate of abandonment after the initial download. In fact, it appears people download the application and never use it. Poor performance is thought to be the main problem that is causing people to give up the application.

Which of the following aspects of the application should be specifically targeted for testing to help determine if this is really the problem?

AUser interface delays

BIrregular performance

CResource usage

DApplication launch time

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

D is correct since it appears that people download it and never use it, perhaps because it takes so long to complete the download and the initial launch. This may not be the real problem, but it is certainly the first area to look at during testing. A and B are incorrect because the users are not actually using the software and wouldn't see these issues. C might be a problem leading to D being a symptom.

Resource usage seems important too, but I feel like it might not be the main issue. I’d focus more on performance-related aspects first.

I practiced a similar question where application launch time was highlighted as crucial. It makes sense that if it takes too long, users might just abandon it.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think irregular performance might also be a big factor. It could lead to a poor user experience overall.

I remember we discussed how user interface delays can really frustrate users, so I think that's a key area to test.
