• Question 236:

  Under which of the following circumstances is maintenance testing required? [K1]

  A. Migration of software onto a new platform

  B. Testing during initial development of a replacement for an existing system

  C. Purchase of a new software tool

  D. Updating of a regression suite

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 237:

  Which of the following statements best characterises maintenance testing? [K2]

  A. Maintenance testing is triggered by changes to delivered software and uses impact analysis to minimise the amount of regression testing needed

  B. Maintenance testing is triggered by changes to software under development before initial delivery and uses the test plan to determine how much regression testing to do

  C. Maintenance testing is triggered by changes to the test environment and uses testing tools to perform regression testing

  D. Maintenance testing is triggered by changes to the software environment and uses structural testing to ensure the changes function correctly

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 238:

  Functional and structural tests are alternative test types that may be used separately or together at which test level? [K1]

  A. At the component test level only

  B. At all test levels

  C. At integration testing and system testing levels only

  D. At all levels from integration testing to acceptance testing

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 239:

  A bank is developing a new service that will be delivered via the web. The user interactions are defined as a set of use cases and the service is designed to be available continuously 24/7. In view of the challenging characteristics of the service the test manager has decided that the code should be thoroughly tested at component level.

  Which of the following test types will be required during the development? [K2]

  A. Functional testing to test security at the system level, load testing at the system level to ensure the system availability is acceptable, regression testing at all levels, structure based testing at the component level only

  B. Functional testing to test the use cases at component level, reliability testing to test availability at the integration level, regression testing at the system testing level only, structure based testing at all levels

  C. Functional testing of the use cases at system level, load testing at component level to ensure availability is acceptable, regression testing at the system and acceptance levels only, and structure based testing at the integration level only

  D. Functional testing to test security at the acceptance level, load testing at the acceptance test level to ensure availability is acceptable, regression testing at the acceptance level only to ensure late changes are made correctly, and structure based testing at the component level

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 240:

  Which of the following accurately defines the integration testing test level? [K2]

  A. Test basis includes software and system design, test objects include interfaces, and tests concentrate on the interactions between different parts of a system

  B. Test basis includes component requirements, test objects include database modules, and tests concentrate on the behaviour of the system as a whole.

  C. Test basis includes business processes, test objects include system configuration and configuration data, and tests concentrate on establishing confidence in the system

  D. Test basis includes use cases, test objects include user procedures and tests concentrate on a high level model of system behaviour

  Correct Answer: A
