You are working on a complex systems integration project that will soon be deployed to the production environment. This system is replacing a system that was popular with the users and had no outstanding non-functional issues. There are multiple components that interact and these have been developed by various development and testing groups including some outsourced groups. You will be leading the performance testing effort. Although you would prefer to have a dedicated test system for this effort, you will have to use the production system. You can do this testing at a low usage time, but there will be some users on the system and you will be using real data for the tests. You are now planning your performance testing. Unfortunately, there are no requirements for the performance requirements of the system. How do you determine the acceptable performance levels for the various operational profiles?

You should check the performance of the legacy system and use that as a benchmark for the new system

You should ask the users what they expect to see for the performance

You should go back to the business analysts and require them to update the requirements to include the performance expectations

You should use industry standard performance benchmarks

Which of the following is a reason for the Technical Test Analyst to take the time to prepare for a code review?

Allows the reviewer time to consider the Interaction of the item being reviewed with other items In the system

Allows time to prepare the test data

Allows time to gather the test metrics for management review

Allows time to plan the design and implementation of the item being reviewed

The following epic has been written:As a vehicle driverI want to find an available space In a car parkSo that I can pay in advance to reserve that spaceThis epic will be used to develop user stories for a new National Car Parking application Both public and private car park owners will be able to utilise the system, allowing drivers of all kinds to guarantee an available car parking space on arrival at their chosen car park, according to the kind of vehicle that they may driveThere will be multiple stakeholders including different car park owners, different user groups including disabled drivers and different vehicle types such as car. van and motorbike.From this epic, multiple user stories will be written. The following acceptance criteria have been written for the epic, and will be applicable to all user stories (each user story will also have its own acceptance cntena):1. End-to-end response time for any individual request submitted by a user must not exceed 5 seconds2. All correspondence with stakeholders must be via email and text message3. The application must be accessible on most mobile technology4. A user cannot submit a form unless all mandatory fields are entered5.
