Question1: Which of the following fits the principles of experience-based testing?

Question2: Which of the following is a typical defect that pairwise testing would identify?

Question3: Which ONE of the following statements best describes the role of taxonomies in defect-based testing?

Question4: If you are testing a set of signal changes at a railway station, which technique would you most likely use?

Question5: The selection of test design techniques to be used for the project also depends on the possibility of using formal coverage criteria.
Which of the following test design techniques does NOT have formal coverage criteria?

Question6: It is possible that the test execution phase will be shortened and that test cases will need to be prioritised.
What is the main reason to prioritise the test cases?

Question7: Which alternative specification-based test design technique could be used to test the web site and will most likely find very different types of defects?

Question8: For the on-line portal a test will be planned that will focus on suitability.
Which technique is most appropriate to use for the suitability test?

Question9: Identify the technique most appropriate to identify failures in the interactions of the software under test with its operating environment.

Question10: Using the scenario as described above, using boundary value analysis, which would be the most interesting test set to explicitly test one single boundary value as defined in the specification?

Question11: The use of exploratory testing is also being considered.
Which of the following practices is NOT part of exploratory testing?

Question12: Using the state model of the component provided earlier, how many test cases are needed to achieve 1-switch coverage?

Question13: Drawing a state table based in the state model provided, how many invalid test cases can be identified from the state table?

You may assume all actions are different and independent.

Question14: When preparing for an exploratory test, which of the following sets of artifacts would be the most appropriate to produce?

Question15: Despite the time pressure, which of the following reasons would be the best justification for using inspections?

Question16: Which of the following is a typical defect that boundary value analysis would identify?

Question17: Scenario "Tax system"
The tax system needs to be updated due to new legislation, For a person with a salary of less than f20.000 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 input classes can be distinguished when applying equivalence partitioning to the Tax System specification?

Question18: Which of the following is an example of the use of a defect taxonomy for test design?

Question19: Which of the following is an example of the use of defect taxonomies?

Question20: Scenario "Banking Project"
As a test analyst in the banking domain you have received the following 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. For the ATM banking project introduced earlier; "When the user first inserts a valid credit card type, the system considers the user to be in an unauthenticated state. When requesting a cash advance, the user must be in an authenticated state. The user authenticates by entering the proper PIN code. When authenticating the user, the system shall allow the user to enter their PlN code up to three times before failing the authentication and rejecting the card. On the first and second try, the system shall prompt the user to re- enter the PIN code." Suppose you are concerned that, depending on the exact number of invalid PIN codes entered, the system might behave improperly.
Which of the following test design techniques is specifically targeted at such failures?

Question21: Apart from state transition testing, which other specification-based technique would you additionally choose to test the interfaces between modules?
Identify the most likely technique from the following list.

Question22: Consider the following decision table,

How many cases are left when this decision table is collapsed?

Question23: Which of the following is an example of testing as part of the requirements specification phase?

Question24: It has been suggested to organise a performance test to investigate the third type of complaint.
Which of the following could be used to quantify the situation?

Question25: Scenario "Banking Project"
As a test analyst in the banking domain you have received the following 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." Working on a banking project, one of the exit criteria in the test plan requires documentation of successful cash advances of at least 500 Euros for all supported credit cards.
After test execution, a complete list of cash advance test results shows the following:
a) American Express allowed advances of up to 1000 Euros
b) Visa allowed advances of up to 500 Euros
c) Eurocard allowed advances of up to 1000 Euros
d) Mastercard allowed advances of up to 500 Euros
Which of the following statements is true?

Question26: Which of the following is NOT an example of a typical pre-condition for test execution?

Question27: To enhance the test design phase the purchase of a test design tool is being considered.
Which statement characterizes best a test design tool?

Question28: Consider the following list of test process activities:
i. Analysis and design
ii. Test closure activities
iii. Evaluating exitcriteria and reporting
iv. Planning and control
v. Implementation and execution
Which of the following places these in their logical sequence?
