DNested transactions

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Nested transactions allow performance tests to capture both individual and aggregated elements by grouping multiple related transactions and measuring their cumulative impact.

Option A (Aggregated metrics) provides summaries but lacks insight into individual elements.

Option B (Process optimization tracking) focuses on business process improvement, not test metrics.

Option C (Measuring underlying transactions) focuses only on individual transactions.

Hmm, I think C. Measuring underlying transactions seems like the way to go. Gotta dig deep to get those individual and aggregated metrics, you know?
