JVisualVM | Mock Test

1
As a performance engineer, you suspect that the application (though multi threadeis performing poorly due to lack of sync between the threads. How do you confirm this?
a. Look at the thread tab -> Details. If there is a sync problem, then most of the application threads will be shown in a ‘waiting’ state
b. Look at the disk reads and writes. This will show you the bottle neck for poor thread performance, as most of the threads will be in reading or writing state
c. Look at the monitor tab where the application’s CPU utiization is shown for each thread
d. Look at the VisualVM tab where the heap size will reflect the thread sync issue
