BCS TM12 Exam - Topic 8 Question 117 Discussion

Actual exam question for BCS's TM12 exam
Question #: 117
Topic #: 8
[All TM12 Questions]

Assume you are the Test Manager for a new software release of an e-commerce application.

The server farm consists of six servers providing different capabilities. Each capability is provided through a set of web services.

The requirements specification document contains several SLAs (Service Level Agreements) like the following:

SLA-001: 99.5 percent of all transactions shall have a response time less than five seconds under a load of up-to 5000 concurrent users

The main objective is to assure that all the SLAs specified in the requirements specification document will be met before system release. You decide to apply a risk-based testing strategy and an early risk analysis confirms that performance is high risk. You can count on a well-written requirements specification and on a model of the system behavior under various load levels produced by the system architect.

Which of the following test activities would you expect to be the less important ones to achieve the test objectives in this scenario?

Number of correct responses: 1

True, but I think D is also less important. Reviewing models doesn’t replace actual testing.

I feel option B is less critical too. Monitoring after release doesn’t help before launch.

I think A might be less critical too, but not sure.

Option B is a bit of a joke, isn't it? Might as well just cross your fingers and hope for the best.

Haha, monitoring SLAs after release? That's like closing the barn door after the horses have already escaped.

Hmm, I'd say option D is the least important. Reviewing models is good, but nothing beats real-world performance testing.

Option C seems like the most important one to me. Gotta make sure those SLAs are met before release!

I feel like static performance testing could be useful, but it might not directly impact our ability to verify SLAs before release.

I practiced a similar question where we had to prioritize testing activities, and I think system performance testing is definitely crucial for meeting SLAs.

Agreed, Mike. We need to focus on the system as a whole, not just individual services.

I think option A is the least important. Unit tests won't cover the whole system.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think monitoring SLAs post-release is more about validation than testing, so it might be less important for our objectives.

I remember we discussed that unit performance testing might not be as critical since we're focusing on overall system performance.

Reviewing the architectural model through static performance testing could be a good way to get an early understanding of the system's behavior under load. That might help inform the design of the system performance testing.

I agree with John that the system-level performance testing is key here. Monitoring the SLAs in production is also important, but that should come after verifying everything in the test environment.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the role of the unit performance testing for each web service. Wouldn't that be important to identify any performance bottlenecks early on?

This seems like a pretty straightforward performance testing scenario. I'd focus on the system-level performance testing to verify the SLAs, since the requirements and system model are well-defined.
