PT - Basics Interview Question #1

Q.1 Who does load tuning after load testing?
Ans: Tuning software is done by a developer who is responsible for improving the performance of the system. Performance Testers can suggest or recommend tuning to the developer after finding the bottleneck in the application or system. Keep in mind, only developers do tuning.

Q.2 In load testing, what is tuning software?
Ans: Software tuning is the process of fixing the bottleneck; identified during performance testing. Also, identifying the level of software bottlenecks by getting the database and code profiled. Modifying or fine-tuning the software to fix the bottlenecks is called tuning software.

Q.3 In load testing, what is tuning hardware?
Ans: During the load test, if there is a bottleneck related to scalability of hardware identified, then the process of bottleneck elimination is called tuning the hardware.

Q.4 In load testing, what are concurrent hits of the user?
Ans: When multiple users hit an application (server) parallelly irrespective of the same step then it is called a concurrent user hit. The point of concurrency will be added as one of the virtual user steps. Please note simultaneous hit is different from the concurrent hits.

Q. 5 What is a simultaneous hit of the users?
Ans: When all the users will wait at the point and then hit the server at the same point of time without any delay, then this type of concurrency is called as simultaneous hits of the users.
