iSQI Exam CTFL-PT_D Topic 5 Question 2 Discussion

Actual exam question for iSQI's CTFL-PT_D exam

Question #: 2
Topic #: 5

Given the following list of approaches to load generation, select the load generation approach that is LEAST reproducible and accurate.

SELECT ONE OPTION

ALoad generation using crowds.

BLoad generation via the user interface.

CLoad generation using captured communication protocols.

DLoad generation via the Application Programming Interface (API).

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Load generation using crowds (crowdsourcing) is the least reproducible and accurate approach. This method involves using a large number of real users to generate load on the system. The variability in network conditions, user behavior, and device capabilities makes it difficult to reproduce the exact same load conditions consistently.

Option D for the win! API-based load generation is the way to go - it's consistent, controllable, and doesn't require a degree in cat wrangling.

Definitely, it's the most reliable option for generating load.

I'm going with option B. Trying to load test through the UI? That's like herding cats with a broken leash.

Option C seems the least reliable to me. Capturing communication protocols can be tricky and may not accurately reflect the actual load.

Definitely option A. Crowd-sourced load generation can be highly variable and difficult to control or reproduce.

I think load generation using captured communication protocols is the most reproducible and accurate option, as it simulates real network traffic.

I believe load generation via the user interface is also not very accurate, as it depends on user behavior.

I agree with Jacquline, load generation using crowds can be unpredictable and not controlled.

I think option B is the least reproducible and accurate. Using the user interface can be too dependent on user interactions and may not capture the full load.
