Approach

Stress testing
Scenario testing
Requirements-based testing
Performance testing

Characteristic

Uses realistic usage stories to test multiple features together and their interactions
Derives tests directly from each specified requirement to check it has been satisfied
Checks the system meets response time and throughput requirements at expected load
Overloads the system beyond its design capacity to observe failure behavior

Correct Answer

(1) Requirements-based testing,Derives tests directly from each specified requirement to check it has been satisfied
(2) Scenario testing,Uses realistic usage stories to test multiple features together and their interactions
(3) Performance testing,Checks the system meets response time and throughput requirements at expected load
(4) Stress testing,Overloads the system beyond its design capacity to observe failure behavior

Explanation

Release testing uses four complementary approaches: requirements-based testing verifies each requirement; scenario testing uses realistic usage stories; performance testing checks system behavior at expected load; stress testing probes behavior at extreme loads beyond design capacity.
