Exam Professional Cloud Architect topic 5 question 1 discussion

Tests should include directly "testing the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure". I don't what does this mean? Testing their resources running on GCP infrastructure or testing GCP services itself? Regardless, Option D suggests SLA requirements which is not the problem. The problem is scalability that can be resolved through stress testing. Also, GCP services are indirectly tested through it (Option D). Hence, I choose option A.

Should be D, bcaz need to test GCP products too....

We dont need to test the GCP infra since we are talking about managed services. A is correct.

option a suits

A All other options are funny! D the most - we are charged to increase the test coverage and/or test strategy not for GCP infra :-)

If D is correct, A is correct too. A include D. If we only choose 1 option, it must be A.

Tests should scale well beyond the prior approaches seems correct, since they are migrating to new GCP infrastructure they should have higher scalability in tests. D - Tests should include directly testing the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure seems not required, if they test the app in GCP env that makes sense, just testing GCP infrastructure without any app code in between is not needed.

Are these Mountkirk Games case questions still appearing on the exam?

As they expect the new game to be very popular, their testing strategy should be designed to scale beyond their previous approaches to ensure that the game can handle the increased traffic and user demands.

How should the test coverage differ from their existing backends on the other platforms?" Test coverage. They are already testing scale. Testing GPA isn’t currently covered.

DDDDDDDDD

Wording in Answer Choice D is intended to confuse. What is being tested is the ability of GCP to handle the scale that Mountkirk needs as the infra of the prior cloud provider could not scale.

The previous "cloud" provider could not scale so the need here is to ensure that GCP scales. A is meaningless and generic.

The correct answer is A: Tests should scale well beyond the prior approaches. Mountkirk Games' new game is expected to be very popular, so it's important to have a testing strategy that can handle a high volume of users and ensure that the game can scale well. This means that the test coverage for the new game's backend should be significantly higher than the test coverage for their existing backends on other platforms. Unit tests and end-to-end tests are both important for ensuring the quality and reliability of the game's backend, so both types of tests should be included in the testing strategy. Testing the GCP infrastructure directly may not be necessary, as GCP provides managed services that are expected to be reliable and well-maintained. It's generally not recommended to perform testing only in the production environment, as this can potentially cause problems for live users and result in lost revenue. Instead, it's important to test the game's backend thoroughly in a staging or testing environment before deploying it to production.

A is essential as customer want a scalable system B&C does not make sense from testing perspective. D is remotely impossible as it might breach acceptable use policy conditions… best to check with Google before doing so.

ok for A

A makes sense to me
