   A company has a service-oriented architecture (SOA) with multiple services that communicate synchronously. The team wants to test the system's ability to handle a sudden increase in load, such as a flash sale. Which performance testing area is most relevant?

   • ASpike testing to see how the system handles sudden load increases
   • BStress testing to find the breaking point
   • CLoad testing to verify expected peak load
   • DEndurance testing to check for memory leaks over time

   A team is performance testing a monolithic application that runs a batch job every night. The job processes a large dataset and is known to take several hours. The team wants to ensure the job completes within the expected time window. Which performance testing area is most relevant?

   • ALoad testing to simulate multiple concurrent users
   • BStress testing to find the breaking point of the job
   • CSpike testing to see how the job handles sudden changes in data volume
   • DEndurance testing to verify the job can run for the full duration without degradation

   A company has a microservices architecture with a service that is CPU-intensive. The service is deployed on a container orchestration platform. The team wants to test the service's ability to handle peak load. Which performance testing approach is most appropriate?

   • ASpike testing the service to see how it handles sudden increases
   • BEndurance testing the service for 24 hours to check for memory leaks
   • CStress testing the service to find its breaking point
   • DLoad testing the service in isolation with the expected peak load
