   A performance test team is using a tool that has a limit of 1,000 virtual users per license. The test requires 5,000 virtual users. What is the BEST way to address this limitation?

   • AUse a different tool that has no virtual user limit
   • BRun the test multiple times with 1,000 users each
   • CPurchase additional licenses to increase the virtual user limit
   • DReduce the test to 1,000 virtual users

   A performance test team is evaluating a tool that can generate load and measure response times, but it cannot simulate different network conditions (e.g., latency, bandwidth). The application is used by remote users with varying network quality. What is the BEST approach?

   • AUse the tool as-is and assume network conditions are uniform
   • BReduce the load to account for network variability
   • CUse a separate network simulation tool in conjunction with the performance testing tool
   • DSwitch to a different performance testing tool that supports network simulation

   A performance test team is using a tool that can generate load and measure response times, but it cannot correlate server-side metrics with load. The team needs to identify the root cause of a performance issue. What is the BEST approach?

   • ASwitch to a different load testing tool that can correlate metrics
   • BUse the tool's response time data to infer the root cause
   • CUse a separate monitoring tool to collect server metrics and correlate them with the load test
   • DRun the test multiple times and compare response times
