• Writing a summary of the product's features.

• Asking users for their opinions on the product's design.

Why is it important to have an acceptance plan before performance testing?

• To ensure the testing is done in the correct language.

• To make the testing process more expensive.

• To avoid testing altogether.

Which of the following is a common metric used in performance testing?

• The number of customer complaints.

• Response time or throughput.

• The product's packaging design.

What is the purpose of a 'pilot test' in the acceptance process?

• To test the product's ability to fly.

• To conduct a small-scale test with a select group of users before full release.

• To write the product's terms and conditions.

If a product fails an acceptance test, what is the next step?
