   A performance test team is configuring a load testing tool for a test that simulates a peak load of 1,000 concurrent users. The test design specifies a ramp-up period of 15 minutes and a steady-state duration of 30 minutes. The team sets the tool to start 100 users every 1.5 minutes for 15 minutes, then hold for 30 minutes. During a trial run, they notice that the tool is not applying the ramp-up correctly; it starts all 1,000 users immediately. The team has limited time before the official test. What is the most appropriate action?

   • AAdjust the test design to accept the immediate start of all users.
   • BRun the official test and note the deviation in the final report.
   • CTroubleshoot the tool configuration to fix the ramp-up settings before the official test.
   • DProceed with the official test because the load profile is not critical.

   After a performance test, the test engineer needs to store the results. The test generated a large number of log files, and the engineer is concerned about storage space. The test plan does not specify a retention policy. What is the most appropriate action?

   • AStore the logs on the load generator to avoid using central storage.
   • BDelete the logs that seem less important to save space.
   • CCompress the log files and store them in a designated results repository.
   • DAsk the infrastructure team to increase storage space.
