Question 1

Subject to testing is a software system (COTS) for Project Administration and Control (PACS). PACS is a multi-project system for controlling the project time, e.g., in terms of scheduling and tracking, and managing the productivity of projects, e.g., in terms of effort and deliverables. During various interviews with stakeholders the following information was gathered: • Using PACS is not business critical. There is no impact such as high financial losses or problems to the operational continuity of an organization. Its application is not critical since the software package does not support directly the operational, or the primary, business processes of an organization. It supports (project) management in the project planning and tracking process. Of course, it will be highly annoying for users if the system “goes down” from time to time. Although this does not have a high impact for the business process as a whole, the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) still needs to be at a good level to be successful in the market. • Users of PACS typically have an academic educational level, but have no prior experience with this particular type of project management software. The system will be used by a large number of users within an organization. • The system will be used on a regular basis, e.g., several times per day by project managers and several times per week by project employees. This means that the system will not be used very intensively, often only for some data input or an information request. Its usage is not considered to be very time-critical. • The data is recorded on-line and real-time. The system is expected to run in multiple hardware environments in various network environments. It is also expected that changes in the operational environments will happen in the upcoming period that also need to be supported. Based on the information provided by the stakeholder, which combination of non-functional quality characteristics should you propose to test as part of your test approach?

Options :

A : Reliability and Portability

B : Security and Reliability

C : Performance efficiency and Portability

D : Reliability and Performance efficiency

Answer: A

Question 2

Which of the following is the best example of a reliability failure for the application?

Options :

A : Slow response time

B : Excessive memory consumption

C : Random application termination

D : Failure to encrypt data

Answer: C

Question 3

If we say that a set of tests has achieved 100% structural decision coverage on a particular module in a

program, what does that mean?

Options :

A : That all bugs present in that module were necessarily revealed by those tests

B : That every control flow branch had been executed at least once by those tests.

C : That every dataflow in that module was exercised at least once by those tests.

D :

That every path through that module was exercised at least once by those tests.

Answer: B

Question 4

Which statement about test automation is TRUE7 SELECT ONE OPTION

Options :

A : The term ‘test automation' refers to the automation of test execution

B : Test automation can encompass include the configuration of test environments

C : Creating and maintaining test automation frameworks is better done within the iteration teams

D : it is more effective to have a single automation strategy for large projects

Answer: B

Question 5

Consider the following code fragment

If (a>b) and (b>c) then

b = (a+c)/2

endif

Assume that in the following options, each of the three numbers in parenthesis represent the inputs for a

test case, where the first number represents variable “a”, the second number represents variable “b”, and

the third number represents variable “c”.

Which of the following gives a set of test case inputs that achieves 100?cision coverage for this

fragment of code with the minimum number of test cases?

Options :

A : (5, 3, 2)

B : (5, 3, 2); (5, 4, 0)

C : (5, 4, 0); (4, 5, 0)

D : (4, 5, 0); (5, 4, 5)

Answer: C
