Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure — Question 12

You are developing applications for a company. You plan to host the applications on Azure App Services.
The company has the following requirements:
✑ Every five minutes verify that the websites are responsive.
✑ Verify that the websites respond within a specified time threshold. Dependent requests such as images and JavaScript files must load properly.
✑ Generate alerts if a website is experiencing issues.
✑ If a website fails to load, the system must attempt to reload the site three more times.
You need to implement this process with the least amount of effort.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Create a Selenium web test and configure it to run from your workstation as a scheduled task.
• B. Set up a URL ping test to query the home page.
• C. Create an Azure function to query the home page.
• D. Create a multi-step web test to query the home page.
• E. Create a Custom Track Availability Test to query the home page.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a URL ping test is specifically designed to check the availability of a website at regular intervals with minimal setup. Other options like Selenium web tests and Azure functions would require more complex configurations and maintenance, while multi-step web tests and Custom Track Availability Tests may not be as straightforward for basic availability checks.
