What is the primary goal of resource utilization testing?

To verify that the system meets response time requirements

To determine the maximum load the system can handle

To test the system's ability to handle sudden spikes in load

To measure and analyze the usage of system resources to identify bottlenecks and ensure efficient utilization

What is the main objective of capacity testing?

To verify that the system can handle the expected load without errors

To determine the maximum load a system can handle while still meeting performance requirements

To test the system's ability to recover from a crash

To test the system's stability over a long period of time

Which of the following is typically included in a performance test plan?

A list of all functional requirements

Entry and exit criteria for the performance tests

Detailed test scripts for each scenario

The actual performance test results

A performance test team is preparing to run a load test. They have a test environment that is a scaled-down version of production, and they have a limited amount of test data. What is the most important consideration when using this environment for performance testing?

The test tool must be the same version as used in previous tests

The test environment must be representative of production in terms of hardware and software

The test data must be exactly the same as production data

The test must be run at the same time of day as the expected peak usage

Part of the Domain 4: Quality Characteristics for Technical Testing domain, which makes up ~14% of our current practice bank. ISTQB does not publish an official question count, but from its 120-minute exam (~50–80 total, ~7–11 in this domain), expect 1–2 from this objective — we provide 21 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
