The last release of a hotel booking website resulted in poor system performance whenhotel searches reached peak volumes. To address these problems in the forthcomingrelease, changes to the system architecture are to be implemented as follows:Change 1 - Provision of a single Internet service using multiple servers, rather than a singleserver, to maximize throughput and minimize response time during peak volumesChange 2 - Prevention of unnecessary database calls for objects that were not immediatelyneeded by the calling applications. Achieved by not automatically creating databaseconnections at the start of processing, instead only just before the data is required.The system architecture document has been drafted and as Technical Test Analyst youhave been invited to participate in its review. Which of the following review checklist itemsis MOST likely to identify any defects in the proposed system architecture for Change 1?

You work for a small supermarket chain which has successfully operated a productinventory application for several years. It has recently purchased a data warehousingsolution which provides tailorable profiling of product purchases with the aim of improvingits marketing strategy. The decision has been made to host the data warehousing softwareand database on the same server used by the product inventory application. Based on thisdecision, two product risks have been cataloged:The co-existence of both applications on the same server may introduce resource conflicts,resulting in an unacceptable impact on the functionality of the product inventory applicationIn the event of loss or corruption of product inventory data during transfer to thewarehouse, it may not be possible to restore from back-up in the timeframe required,resulting in lost business.Which TWO non-functional test types should be included in the test plan to mitigate bothproduct risks?

BestFor Incorporated is a rapidly growing online financial services company that offersguidance to its customers on a range of financial products. Its first website,BestForMortgages, was launched two years ago, shortly followed by BestForPensions. Thepopularity of both sites has driven the company to expand its offerings into other sectorsand a third website, BestForFood, has recently been released.The first two websites have proven to be functionally robust but suffered from performanceissues due to:Underestimation of concurrent user access at peak times in its original operational profilesData volumes rapidly growing beyond expectations on a single database shared by bothsites.All three websites share the same web server.The BestForFood system has been running live for several months, however the followingsignificant non-functional defects have been recorded:A) The layout and navigation of the BestForFood website was not considered by the usersas consistent with BestForPensions and BestForMortgagesB) Soon after delivering the BestForFood system the performance of both BestForPensionsand BestForMortgages noticeably slowedC) The time taken to diagnose, repair and re-test production defects did not meetBestForFood service level agreementsD) BestForFood performance was adversely impacted by unexpected growth in datavolumesE) The time taken to install monthly builds into the production system exceeded agreedtimescales.Which TWO of these defects might have been prevented had portability testing andcompatibility testing been employed?
