ITPEC FE Morning April 2023 — Question 57 of 80

In capacity management, there are several analysis techniques. Trend analysis examines the chronological usage of a specific resource over time to identify patterns and predict future usage changes.

The other options describe different capacity management techniques:

Why not others:
- (a) — describes baseline modeling, which creates a model reflecting current performance as the first phase

- (b) — describes simulation, which generates simulated transactions to predict response time and throughput

- (d) — describes analytical modeling, which uses mathematical techniques like queueing theory to predict performance

Key rule: Trend analysis = historical data over time → predict future demand. Think "trend line on a graph."
