Exam MCIA-Level-1 Topic 12 Question 41 Discussion

Actual exam question for MuleSoft's MCIA-Level-1 exam
Question #: 41
Topic #: 12
Refer to the exhibit.

One of the backend systems invoked by an API implementation enforces rate limits on the number of requests a particular client can make. Both the backend system and the API implementation are deployed to several non-production environments in addition to production.
Rate limiting of the backend system applies to all non-production environments. The production environment, however, does NOT have any rate limiting.
What is the most effective approach to conduct performance tests of the API implementation in a staging (non-production) environment?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

Correct answer is Create a mocking service that replicates the backend system's production performance characteristics. Then configure the API implementation to use the mocking service and conduct the performance tests
* MUnit is for only Unit and integration testing for APIs and Mule apps. Not for performance Testing, even if it has the ability to Mock the backend.
* Bypassing the backend invocation defeats the whole purpose of performance testing. Hence it is not a valid answer.
* Scaled down performance tests cant be relied upon as performance of API's is not linear against load.
