• Question 41:

  Which of the following statements is TRUE with respect to when the test analyst should become involved during different lifecycle models?

  A. In a sequential V-model project the test analyst should start test analysis and design concurrently with coding

  B. In Agile projects the test analyst should start test analysis and design concurrently with coding

  C. In a sequential model project the test analyst should start test analysis and design concurrently with software design

  D. In an embedded iterative model the test analyst should expect to be involved in the standard planning and design aspects

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 42:

  Ken, an entrepreneur in Leeds finds the quality of the tea locally available so low, that he decides to research superior teas around the world. He decides to market, sell and distribute these superior teas via the web. His market strategy is to offer superior products on a well-designed website with graphics that are fast to load, has high availability, superior usability and fast response times.

  The website will offer the following:

  - An innovative interactive catalogue of teas, which not only enables customers to buy the product, but also enables them to provide feedback by rating the teas (which will influence his stock purchasing levels)

  -

  Provide the customer with the ability to use secure credit card transactions

  -

  Provide the customer to give general feedback

  Ken selects an iterative model for the development of the prototypes. The team consists of three developers that are experienced in web development. Ken, although he doesn't have

  technical skillset, is concerned with quality. He doesn't believe a lot of documentation is necessary and he wants the website to be completed quickly.

  The test basis contains the following:

  -Story boards that show the information flow and page links through the site

  -HTML pages developed to date.

  -A statement of non-functional requirements.

  With the strategy taking shape, Ken asks your advice on the specific testing techniques that should be used to complete the required testing, bearing in mind the nature of the

  application and the nature of Ken's overall objectives.

  How does phase containment contribute to reducing the cost of development?

  A. By eliminating defects as early as possible to minimize defect propagation

  B. By ensuring that the deliverables from any life cycle phase are tested only in that phase

  C. By using specific test techniques at each level and only at that level

  D. By concentrating the testing effort on the phases where failures occur

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 43:

  Tax system

  A tax system needs to be updated due to new legislation. For a person with a salary of less than 20.000 and who is married, the tax needs to be re-calculated. If the person also has

  more than two and less than five children, an additional 10% reduction is applicable.

  Applying equivalence partitioning to the "Tax System" specification, which of the following set of equivalence classes is most effective in testing the processing the number of children?

  A. 2, 4 and 6 children

  B. 2, 4 and 5 children

  C. 1, 3 and 6 children

  D. 3, 4 and 6 children

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 44:

  Tax system A tax system needs to be updated due to new legislation. For a person with a salary of less than

  20.000 and who is married, the tax needs to be re-calculated. If the person also has more than two and less than five children, an additional 10% reduction is applicable. How many cases are required to test the "Tax system" specification using a decision table which is not collapsed?

  A. 2

  B. 4

  C. 6

  D. 8

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 45:

  During the test execution defects are found on non-compliancy to requirements, calculations that produce incorrect results, and improper handling of data or situations. Which of the following test types is most likely being performed?

  A. Usability testing

  B. Interoperability testing

  C. Accuracy testing

  D. Suitability testing

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 46:

  Your test team is currently executing interoperability testing. Consider the following excerpt from the failure description of an interoperability defect report:

  1.

  Connect external camera to a Windows Vista PC.

  2.

  Start the camera application on the PC. Application starts normally and recognizes connected camera.

  3.

  Attempt to download the recorded data from the camera.

  4.

  Data does not download.

  5.

  Attempt to download the data three times. Data will not down--load.

  Based on this information alone, which of the problems described hereafter exists in this defect report?

  A. Lack of structured testing

  B. Inadequate classification information

  C. Insufficient isolation

  D. Poorly documented steps to reproduce

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 47:

  A diamond retailer is introducing a new stock taking system. Each diamond is assigned a character that represents the colour. The valid domain for the character ranges from D to Z. The colour is then graded using the following scale:

  

  Which of the following test sets will provide the best equivalence partitioning coverage?

  A. D, F, G, H, K, M, N, P, T, Z

  B. D, G, K, N, S

  C. A, E, H, L, P, T, ?

  D. E, H, L, M, U,

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 48:

  Analyzing the requirement, "The system shall allow cash advances of at least 200 Euros for all supported credit cards. The correct list of credit cards is American Express, Diners, VISA, Mastercard and Eurocard." There are arguments to be made for several test design techniques.
