A. Gradually increasing the load allows the SUT performance to stablize after each progressive increment of load thus exhibiting consistent behavior that results in measurements that are more reliable

B. Gradually increasing the load ensures the SUT remains in a transient performance condition as it responds to the new increase in load thus exhibiting realistic behavior that improves the realism of the performance test

C. Frequent sudden significant increases of toad allows the SUT performance to stabilize after each |ump in load thus exhibiting consistent behavior that results in measurements that are more reliable

D. Frequent sudden significant increases of load ensures the SUT remains in a transient performance condition as it responds to each new large increase in load thus exhibiting consistent behavior that results in measurements that are more reliable.
