ISTQB Exam CT-PT Topic 3 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's CT-PT exam
Question #: 7
Topic #: 3
[All CT-PT Questions]

You are managing the testing efforts of an existing distributed system that manages inventories of automobile and light truck tires from multiple warehouses across the country. The system is being enhanced to track incoming restocking shipments at the point of entry to the warehouse and outbound sales shipments at the point of shipment from the warehouse, all of which are executed in real-time. System loads traditionally peak on Mondays due to built-up demand from the previous weekend.

You are preparing a presentation to the business stakeholders, outlining your performance testing strategy.

Which of the following is appropriate to present to this audience?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Business stakeholders are most concerned with risks that affect deployment and production stability. The primary risk in performance testing is that the test environment may differ from production, leading to misleading test results.

Option A (HTTP response goals) is too technical for a business stakeholder audience.

Option B (Hardware specifications) is relevant for technical teams, not business stakeholders.

Option C (Support staff details) is a logistical aspect, not a key performance testing risk for business decision-makers.

I bet the developers are secretly hoping the stakeholders will choose Option C, so they can take a nice long lunch during the testing. Just kidding... or am I?

Ah, the age-old battle between technical details and business-facing metrics. If only we could get the stakeholders to care about things like CPU and memory specs.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Option D about the risks from platform differences could also be valuable to highlight, just to set proper expectations.

I agree with Teri. The business stakeholders will be more interested in the actual performance targets we're aiming for, rather than the nitty-gritty of the testing setup.

Option A seems like the most relevant choice here. We need to establish clear performance goals to present to the stakeholders, not just technical details or a list of support staff.

I think we should also include the risks related to platform differences in the presentation. It's crucial for the stakeholders to be aware of potential issues.

I think we should definitely present the established HTTP response per second goals to the stakeholders.
