Virtualizing the servers is not typically part of performance test preparation. Performance test preparation generally involves activities such as deploying the test environment, setting up the system under test, and configuring load generation and monitoring tools to ensure accurate data collection. While virtualization can be an aspect of the overall infrastructure setup, it is not a direct step in preparing for performance testing. ISTQB performance testing guidelines emphasize setting up the environment, system, and tools specifically for performance test execution.

Performance risks should be analyzed and evaluated continuously throughout the development lifecycle, especially in projects with high processing capacity and independent operation across multiple locations. This ongoing evaluation helps to identify and mitigate risks early and adapt to any changes that occur during development.

The correct associations are based on the definitions of each type of performance testing:

Endurance testing: Focused on the stability of the system over a specific time frame. (B)

Scalability testing: Focused on the ability of a system to meet future efficiency requirements. (E)

Capacity testing: Used to determine the number of transactions a given system will support while still meeting established performance objectives. (A)

Stress testing: Evaluates a system's ability to handle reduced availability of resources. (D)

Concurrency testing: Focused on the impact of situations where specific actions occur simultaneously. (C)

ISTQB Glossary

1A: Alerts and warnings are typically part of the operating environment to monitor and respond to issues in real-time.

2B: Concurrency of usage is critical in the business environment where multiple users interact with the system simultaneously.

3A: Operational processes are key aspects of the operating environment, ensuring the smooth running of day-to-day activities.

4C: Resource utilization is a technical concern, focusing on how effectively system resources are used.

5C: Response time is a technical metric that directly affects user experience and system efficiency.

6B: Throughput of data, transactions, and other units of work performed is relevant to the business environment where the volume of operations impacts overall performance.

This categorization aligns with the ISTQB framework for performance evaluation across different environments, ensuring comprehensive coverage of performance metrics.
