SQL/JMeter

Question 1

Reasons for Performance Test

Answer 1

• To determine whether the application satisfies performance requirements
• To measure stability under peak traffic events
• Always happens at the beginning, early stage of development

Question 2

What is Load Testing?

Answer 2

Load Testing is a way to asses any applications behavior when applied with different loads (users/traffic)
Load Testing is applied to identify errors made in the development process, which are responsible for a particular software’ poor performance or failure
- Always happens at the beginning, early stage of development

Question 3

What is a Stress Testing?

Answer 3

Stress Testing is a form of software testing that is used to determine the stability of a given system. The goal of such tests may be to ensure the software doesn’t crash in conditions of insuffitient computational resources (such as memory, disk space, network request, etc)

Question 4

JMeter Test Script

Answer 4

1. Test plan or Test Suite
2. Test Case or Thread Group (there are many test cases inside the test plan)
3. Thread Count or Number of Users

Question 5

JMeter Samplers

Answer 5

Samplers are used to send requests to the server; support HTTP, HTTPS, JBDC (used for back testing only) & other protocols used in performance testing

Question 6

JMeter Components

Answer 6

• Sampler - sends the request to the server
• Listener - generates the reports
• Assertions - apply validations
• Timers - apply some delays
• Controller - controls execution flow
