b) They specify the hardware and software prerequisites for deploying the tool

c) They regulate the number of licenses required for the tool

d) They dictate the compatibility of the tool with different web browsers

Scalability

 Another factor to consider is the total number of concurrent user simulations the tool can handle. This will include several factors:

               1: Maximum number of licenses required

                    2: Load generation workstation/server configuration requirements

                    3: Ability to generate load from multiple points of presence (e.g., distributed servers)

Understandability

Another factor to consider is the level of technical knowledge needed to use the tool. This is often overlooked and can lead to unskilled testers incorrectly configuring tests, which in turn provide inaccurate results. For testing requiring complex scenarios and a high level of programmability and customization, teams should ensure that the tester has the necessary skills, background, and training.

 

Q3: In what scenario would other monitoring tools be considered to supplement the monitoring provided by the primary tool?

a) When the primary tool is free to use

b) When the primary tool has comprehensive monitoring capabilities

c) When the primary tool lacks certain monitoring features
