90% of the test cases must pass. You have provided your manager with the following information:
Test cases passed: 70
Test cases failed: 5
Test cases passed with exception: 25
What problem is your manager likely to have with this information?

Question3: You are testing software for an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) for a bank and you have noticed that anytime a withdrawal is made an email is sent to the card holder informing them that the withdrawal has been made. You have checked the requirements and this feature is not mentioned anywhere.
What should you do?

Question4: You are testing a combination of non-interacting conditions that are used when a customer is selecting a toaster (color, brand, 2 or 4-slot). There are 3 options for color, 2 for brand and 2 for slots. How many test cases are needed to achieve pairwise coverage?

Question5: You are currently working with a web-based retail company that recently created an online shopping portal. The user is only allowed to use one form of payment, credit card or debit card (with PIN). The system interfaces with the warehouse software system to verify items are instock prior to confirming the order. In addition, a third party credit/debit card vendor validates the credit/debit card and confirms available funds to cover the transaction prior to the final sale.

Question6: How are exit criteria utilized?

Question7: You are working with a set of business analysts who are having trouble understanding combinatorial testing. They are very concerned that the coverage will be insufficient and don't understand how tests are eliminated safely. Which combinatorial test design technique could you use to show them resulting combinations in a graphical form?

Question8: You are testing software that controls the amount of water sprayed by an automatic sprinkler system. The amount to be sprayed in an hour is determined by the weather conditions for the previous 3 days. The weather conditions can be either sunny, cloudy or rainy. The maximum amount of water will be sprayed if the previous conditions were sunny, sunny, sunny. No water will be sprayed if there were two rainy days in the previous three days. Varying amounts will be sprayed depending on the mix of the previous days. For example, rainy, sunny, sunny will get more water than sunny, cloudy, rainy.
The software also determines the type of spray to use based on the type of grass being sprayed. There are five different categories of grasses that are supported.
By applying equivalence partitioning to the weather conditions, how many test cases will be needed to cover the weather conditions and spray types?

Question9: You are testing an application that helps people file their taxes. There are many areas where the software will ask for additional information depending on the answer to a question. For example, if someone responds "yes" to the question "are you married", then the software prompts for the spouse's information. What is the best testing technique to apply when testing this application?

Category 2: $100.01 - $500 = 7.5%
Category 3: Over $500 = 10%
The company recently discovered that their competitors were offering better incentives for the same amounts of money spent and now want to update their current incentive rate to match the competitor's.
Using the equivalence partitioning test design technique, which of the following is the correct set of test cases to achieve 100% coverage with the minimum number of test cases?

Question12: You are testing software that will be used to purchase calendars. Customers have the following choices: Number of months (6, 12 or 18), captions for each day (standard, none, custom), picture for the calendar pages (standard, custom). You have been given the following classification tree to perform your testing of these combinations. What is the level of coverage you will achieve if you test all the test cases indicated by this classification tree?

2 had exceptions and 1 is still in progress. What percent of execution should be indicated in your test progress report?

Question16: You are testing registration software that requires the user to create a password. The following are the rules for the password
* Must be between 3 and 10 characters long
* Must contain at least two of the following character types:
o Special character
o Lower case alpha
o Number
o Upper case alpha
* If the password only contains two of the above, a weak symbol is displayed
* If the password only contains three of the above, a strong symbol is displayed
* If the password contains four of the above and is longer than 8 characters, a very strong symbol is displayed
* If the password contains four of the above but is 8 characters or less, a strong symbol is displayed For these requirements, which of the following is the correct list of Results for a decision table?

Question17: Which of the following is an activity the Test Analyst should perform to support monitoring and controlling the test project?

Question18: Which test design technique is often used to determine values for the nodes of the classification tree?

Question19: You have been testing a web application that takes airline reservations. There has been a problem that occurs when an existing user logs in and makes a reservation. If they query first, then select a particular flight and confirm the reservation, they are allowed to cancel the reservation. If they don't query but enter a particular flight number, then select it from the matched list, then confirm and try to cancel, the cancel fails. What technique should you use to do further testing and to look for similar issues?

Question21: You are testing a wire transfer system for a large multi-national bank. There are up to 100,000 wire transactions in a day totaling millions of dollars and each of these transactions must be accurate up to 10 decimal places. Money is often transferred between currencies and rounding of the amount is critically important. Which of the following specification-based techniques would be the most useful when testing this application?

Question22: You are working on a project that has several levels of testing. The functional testing will be done by test analysts who are experienced with the project. They will be using existing test cases plus experience-based testing to conduct their testing. You have been asked to write the test cases that will be used for regression testing and for UAT. An outsourced test team will be used for the regression testing and they are not familiar with the product although they are familiar with testing in general. The business users will be conducting UAT and are experts in their areas. Because of the criticality of the project, there must be documented test cases for the UAT but the business users should be given the latitude to vary the data and actual steps in the business process being tested.
Given this information, which type of test cases should be written?
