NEW QUESTION 2
You have been asked to test the performance of a software and system update to a North American mobile trivia quiz game application. The quiz app is available on major app stores serving English-speaking users. The number of concurrent users planned for is 5 million Winning quiz participants are promised a share of an allocated cash prize Once participants start playing, their quiz sessions must not be lost especially if all previous questions were answered correctly. The application owner wants to ensure that 99% of quiz sessions are maintained (up to 4.95 million sessions) until the last answer has been successfully recorded
In order to avoid cooperation among quiz participants, the answers to the multiple choice questions are listed randomly Confidence in the game's fairness requires that a registered user originate from only one quiz client device Every user must respond over the same short window of time in order toavoid external assistance and learning the official answer before responding. Only participants who respond correctly may answer the next question Any activity that appears to violate expected behavior of a rule-following participant will cause the client session to be rejected.
You are developing test script code that handles quiz question responses. To do this you need to ensure that the script emulates the production quiz app client's logic in terms of rule following and client-backend interface specification.
Based on the question description provided, which is one test script behavior you would implement in order to ensure the test script successfully delivers the operational and load profile of a quiz participant?

• A. Recognize whether the previous question response was correct
• B. Set the device identifier as a constant to ensure all virtual user instances use the set valuecorrect
• C. Randomly select the maximum think time limit used to delay question responses.
• D. Use the date-time clock in order to submit question responses on a synchronized schedule with each instance

Answer: B

NEW QUESTION 3
How does a performance test script determine the duration of a request?

• A. Starting a counter when the result is received and stopping the counter when the request is made
• B. Entering an interrupt service routine when the request is made and returning when the result is received.
• C. Forking a child of itself and then blocking when the request is made and resuming operations when the result is received
• D. Starting a timer when the request is made and stopping the timer when a result for the request is received.

Answer: B

• C. and are not end-to-en
• D. Variability in user behavior, mobile devicesand mobile communications introduces session drop opportunities outside application contro
• E. Using load generators located in 5 high availability data centers in North America will ensure session drops are most likely caused by application issues, thus allowing us to isolatethe root cause of any concurrency issues that ariseii
• F. Test scripts based on replaying recorded communication will take 30 hours each to write and test due to the extensive parameterization required to respond to quiz questions Development has agreed to share client code that can be scripted to authenticate and respond to quiz questions automaticall
• G. The fully programmed script will likely take 18 hours each to write and test Fully programmed scripts will utilize the identical communications stack of the actual client avoiding missed communication nuances.iv The U S Federal Trade Commission has recently sued SmartyBogusFauxApp and OutSmartMeexample com over promises of prizes andunreliabilityv The upgrade being tested was paid for by the latest round of venture funding Supporting 5 million users is requirement thatwas a condition of their funding.
