   A performance test is running with a load profile that includes a ramp-up phase and a steady-state phase. During the ramp-up phase, the test engineer notices that the error rate is increasing as the load increases. The test plan does not specify a procedure for this situation. What should the engineer do?

   • AContinue the test and monitor the error rate to see if it stabilizes or worsens.
   • BIgnore the errors and continue the test as planned.
   • CStop the test immediately because errors are occurring.
   • DReduce the load to the level where errors were not occurring.

   During a performance test execution, the test engineer is monitoring the system resources. The engineer notices that the memory usage on the database server is increasing steadily, but the CPU utilization is low. The test is still within the planned duration. What is the most appropriate action?

   • AContinue monitoring and note the trend for the final analysis.
   • BIncrease the load to stress the database server further.
   • CRestart the database server to clear the memory.
   • DStop the test immediately because the database server is running out of memory.

   A performance test is running according to the planned load profile. Midway through the steady-state phase, the test engineer notices that the response time for a key transaction has increased sharply, and the application server's CPU utilization is at 100%. The test plan includes a predefined procedure for this situation. What should the engineer do?

   • AApply the predefined procedure, which may include continuing to monitor or making a controlled adjustment.
   • BContinue the test and document the anomaly in the final report.
   • CImmediately stop the test and restart it with a lower load.
   • DChange the load profile on the fly to reduce CPU utilization.
