Can you describe some steps used in performance testing?
You can easily identify an operational question when the interviewer asks you to describe the steps used to accomplish a task or completed a process. When answering an operational question, you should keep your response brief and to the point and anticipate a follow-up question. If the interviewer does ask a follow-up question, it indicates that the topic is important to their operations. This signals you to provide more in-depth information when you answer the follow-up.
"Some of the steps used when conducting performance testing include:
- Creating a testing environment
- Determining the test metrics
- Designing the tests which will provide the metrics
- Configuring the environment
- Executing the tests
- Analyzing the results, documenting them, and repeating the tests if necessary"
