ITPEC IP October 2023 Question 15
ITPEC IP October 2023 — Question 15 of 100
Only A and D directly reduce client/server response time. A faster communication line reduces network transmission time, and a higher-performance server reduces server processing time. Response time is the interval from submitting a request until receiving the system's response, so both are components of that interval.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- B may reduce how long users wait for access to a client terminal, but it does not reduce the response time of a submitted transaction
- C reduces the user's preparation or data-entry time before the request is sent, not system response time
- Therefore choices containing B or C include measures outside the requested performance metric
Key rule: Separate user waiting or input time from system response time, which begins when a request is issued.
