Before open enrollment, a school-district registration API candidate must prove it can handle a surge in a pre-production environment. What test belongs there?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Dress rehearsal with a packed gym—before opening night. Pre-prod load tests on the candidate build show whether enrollment surge will buckle the API. First-hour-in-prod experiments are cruel to parents.
Full Explanation
Higher non-prod environments should include performance testing of deployed candidates before peak civic events. A scaled load test in pre-prod validates the build under expected concurrency without risking live enrollment. Relying only on unit tests, production-day discovery, or one manual click does not meet that goal.
