You have been asked to test the performance of a software and system update to a North American mobile trivia quiz game application. The quiz app is available on major app stores serving English-speaking users. The number of concurrent users planned for is 5 million Winning quiz participants are promised a share of an allocated cash prize Once participants start playing, their quiz sessions must not be lost especially if all previous questions were answered correctly. The application owner wants to ensure that 99% of quiz sessions are maintained (up to 4 95 million sessions) until the last answer has been successfully recorded
The performance test team is assembling criteria for tool selection. They have identified the following criteria
* Must be able to reliably generate 5 million concurrent virtual quiz participants from multiple data centers with centralized control
* Must be compatible with REST based web services and have tight integration with RESTful APIs' OData and OpenAPI.
* Must be able to support nested transaction timers, provide centralized performance data collection and reporting, and integrate with platform monitoring agents used by the Operations team.
Which of the following criterion would best complete the provided set of criteria?

You performed 100 test runs that provided 5 million virtual concurrent users. You have measurements of participant concurrency at the last question for each test run In your analysis, you order all the concurrency test results by measured concurrency value from best to worst. You determine 85%. 90%. 95% and 100% values by selecting the 85th. 90th. 95th and 100th (last and worst) measured values by counting list positions starting from the best value going towards the worst until you reach the desired list position (ex. 85). Keep in mind, the results in lower list positions are as good or better than the results chosen for reporting.
After analyzing the results of the performance tests, you present the following results
85% 4.92 million valid concurrent users
90% 4.90 million valid concurrent users
95%: 4.0 million valid concurrent users
100%. 3.8 million valid concurrent users
Based on these results, what should you report to the stakeholders?

In order to avoid cooperation among quiz participants, the answers to the multiple choice questions are listed randomly Confidence in the game's fairness requires that a registered user originate from only one quiz client device Every user must respond over the same short window of time in order to avoid external assistance and learning the official answer before responding. Only participants who respond correctly may answer the next question Any activity that appears to violate expected behavior of a rule-following participant will cause the client session to be rejected.
You are developing test script code that handles quiz question responses. To do this you need to ensure that the script emulates the production quiz app client's logic in terms of rule following and client-backend interface specification.
Based on the question description provided, which is one test script behavior you would implement in order to ensure the test script successfully delivers the operational and load profile of a quiz participant?

You are currently preparing test scripts to function as a quiz participant.
What input data type is most critical for the test script to incorporate to ensure that the concurrency objective will be properly tested?

An essential operational profile you identified is the quiz participant. Your operational profile discovery efforts have yielded a number of profile attributes. A quiz participant will answer twelve questions if they manage to answer the first eleven correctly Every user is made aware of a new question nearly simultaneously. The quiz user has limited time to respond using a mobile application. They are unable to respond to subsequent questions after they incorrectly answer a question. However, the quiz participant continues to see new questions even though they may have responded incorrectly to a previous question If they manage to answer all twelve questions correctly, the quiz application notifies them that they have tentatively won (subject to formal verification) an equal share of a cash prize of an amount set for the particular quiz event In addition to this individualized interaction, a broadcast video stream is presented in the quiz app providing entertaining commentary quiz event coordination, event status and answer explanations.
The average quiz event duration when measured from when the first question is presented to the last answer is reviewed is fifteen minutes. Over the fifteen minutes, twelve questions are presented to quiz participants. After making the following assumptions:
1. Questions must be responded to within a four second window;
2. Question responses will be sent evenly across this window of time (resulting in an average responder time of two seconds);
3. The designed maximum number of concurrent users will attempt the first question;
4. There will be no functional issues when handling the load.
5. The average time from response reception to database commitment is 1000 milliseconds under maximum concurrent usage.
What is the approximate maximum average system throughput if that assumptions hold?
