Question

A new version of an e-commerce application was deployed using a standard template configuration of 4 vCPU and 8GB of RAM. The administrator has configured the application to automatically add 4 GB of RAM after 80% utilization of continuous use over a period of time. Which of the following testing techniques should be used to test this scenario?

Options

  • AIntegration testing
  • BLoad testing
  • CPenetration testing
  • DAutomation testing

Why each option

To test if an e-commerce application successfully adds RAM when utilization reaches 80% over a period, a testing technique that simulates high usage is required.

AIntegration testing

Integration testing verifies that different modules or services of an application work together correctly, not the application's performance or resource scaling under high demand.

BLoad testingCorrect

Load testing is specifically designed to simulate multiple users accessing an application simultaneously, generating high workloads and resource utilization. This technique is essential to determine if the application's auto-scaling mechanism for RAM will trigger and function correctly under stress conditions, validating the configured 80% utilization threshold.

CPenetration testing

Penetration testing is a security assessment technique used to identify vulnerabilities, not to test performance or resource auto-scaling.

DAutomation testing

Automation testing refers to using tools and scripts to execute tests automatically; it is a method of testing, not a specific type of test for performance or resource utilization.

Concept tested: Performance testing, resource scaling validation
