You have been given the following story:

As a help desk worker -
I want to enter a caller’s birth date
So the system can display the caller’s account information
As a team, you have developed the following table of acceptance criteria:

You have developed the following test cases and will execute them in the specified order:

1. Enter a valid date and verify that the account retrieved matches the birth date entered.
2. Enter an invalid date and verify that the error indicates the date is invalid.
3. Verify that the date prompt is already formatted for the date with xx/xx/xx format.
4. Enter a valid date and verify that two pages of account information are readable.
5. Enter a valid date and verify that the response occurs within 2 seconds when the system is under an average load.
   What is incorrect about this approach?

Which of the following is a benefit of early stakeholder feedback?

You are using boundary value analysis to determine your test data.
What values should you use to test a routine that requires an integer input (x) to be greater than zero and less than 100 to achieve 100% minimum coverage using the two-point boundary value analysis technique?

Testing can be seen as a destructive activity. Which of the following generic skills will help a tester overcome this barrier?

You are working on calculating the estimation for a project. You have been given the following numbers by your manager, who is considered to be an expert in estimation:

Optimistic = 35 days -

Likely = 40 days -

Pessimistic = 65 days -
Apply the three-point estimation technique, what is the proper expression of the final estimate?

You have been given the following test cases for execution. You have been told that security and usability are the highest priorities respectively for this banking application. What is the proper execution order for these test cases?

1. Update a customer’s account balance
2. Query a customer’s account balance
3. Delete a request for a paper statement
4. Change the font size on the page to improve readability
5. Create a new payee in a customer’s automatic bill pay list

Which testing principle provides a good reason to base testing upon risk mitigation priorities?

Which of the following is a good testing practice that applies regardless of the specific software development lifecycle being used?

In an Agile development model, the completion of testing or “done” is defined by which of the following?

You are testing web application software that allows a person to use their travel points to make flight and hotel reservations.
When the user logs into the software (username/password) they are presented with a set of options. From that set of options, they can pick the following:

1. View points balance
2. Make flight reservation
3. Make hotel reservation
   From the login page, they can log in successfully or might fail and need to try again. Once they login successfully they can go to either the view points, flight reservation or hotel reservation page.
   Which of the following is the correct list of the transitions (a transition is shown as >) that should be tested, assuming that the test ends when a reservation state is reached.

If you are using test results to learn more about the software and are then creating additional tests based on those results, what type of testing are you doing?

Which of the following is an advantage of the whole team approach?

Which black-box technique should be used to verify different responses of the system, depending on its current conditions or previous history?

An anti-intrusion system is battery powered and is activated by pressing the only available button. To deactivate the system, the operator must enter a PIN code. The system will stay in alert mode within a configurable timeout and an alarm bell will ring if the system is not deactivated before the timeout expires. The following state transition diagram describes the behavior of the system:

What is the minimum number of test cases needed to cover every unique sequence of exactly 4 states / 3 transitions starting and ending in the “Inactive” state? (note that “Inactive” is not a final state in the diagram).

A number of characteristics are given for impact of SDLC on the testing effort.

i. Finishing of requirements review leading to test analysts
ii. Both - static and dynamic testing performed at unit testing level iii. Frequent regression testing may need to be performed iv. Extensive product documentation v. More use of exploratory testing

Which of the following statements is MOST correct?

Which of the following is the main difference between quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC)?

Which of the following statements about the shift-left approach is FALSE?

Consider a program that computes the factorial of a number (n). From the specifications you know that:

• If n < 0, a message "Value out of range" must be issued
• If 0 ≤ n ≤ 100, the program calculates the factorial and returns the number
• If 100 ≤ n ≤ 200 message "Value out of range" must be issued

Which of the following statements about the equivalence partitions is CORRECT?

You have just completed a retrospective at the end of a sprint. One of the developers raised an issue with defect reports not containing information about the configuration, data, and system being used when the failure occurred. When this happens, they reject the defect report and the tester has to update it and send it again. This sometimes takes three or four iterations to get all the information on the report. The test team will take this feedback and will improve the details included in the defect reports.
This is an example of which type of benefit for testing?

Which of the following best suggests the need for maintenance testing?

Which of the following is supported by good information traceability?

Which of the following is a methodical approach to error guessing?

How is branch coverage determined?

In what way does configuration management help the tester?
