13.5. Analyzing Response Time

Try these first

1. 1.

   Define 'Response Time' in the context of performance testing.

   Hint

   Think about the user experience.

2. 2.

   What does 'Throughput' measure?

   Hint

   Consider how fast a system can respond.

3. 3.

   What is the primary aim of analyzing response time in performance testing?

   • To increase throughput
   • To improve user satisfaction
   • To reduce server capacity

   Hint

   Remember the user experience connection.

4. 4.

   True or False: Latency is a measure of total response time.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about what latency measures compared to response time.

5. 5.

   You are analyzing a system that has a response time averaging above the SLA limit of 200ms. Describe a structured approach to identifying and resolving the issues causing this problem.

   Hint

   Think about steps in monitoring, assessment, diagnosis, and optimization.

6. 6.

   A client reports significantly high latency during high traffic. Provide a detailed plan on how to evaluate and address this issue.

   Hint

   Consider how different testing conditions influence the observed latency.
