What is the purpose of the 'initialization' component in a performance test script?

To generate the final performance report

To clean up after the test and release resources

To set up the test environment and prepare the user session

To execute the core business transactions that are being measured

What is correlation in performance test scripting?

Capturing dynamic values from server responses and reusing them in subsequent requests

Adding error handling to the script

Replacing fixed values with data from a file

Measuring the correlation between response time and load

Which of the following is an example of parameterization in a performance test script?

Hardcoding the same username for all virtual users

Adding a think time between requests

Extracting a session ID from the server response

Using a unique username from a data file for each virtual user

What is the purpose of assertions in a performance test script?

To capture dynamic values from responses

To increase the load on the server

To replace fixed values with variable data

To verify that server responses meet expected criteria

What does a performance curve showing throughput rising then flattening as concurrency increases indicate?

The test is invalid because throughput should always increase

The system is experiencing a network failure

The system has reached its maximum throughput capacity

The system is underutilized and can handle more load

Part of the Performance Testing Tasks domain, which makes up ~20% of our current practice bank. ISTQB does not publish an official question count, but from its 90-minute exam (~35–60 total, ~7–12 in this domain), expect 2–3 from this objective — we provide 34 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
