A car navigation system needs to be integrated in the overall car software It is important to verify that the car navigation is functioning correctly once integrated. Thus functional correctness is considered to be important.Which of the following techniques is most likely to support the required functional correctness testing?

• State transition testing
• Multiple condition testing
• Vulnerability scan
• Heuristic evaluation

You are testing an ATM based on the following useATM start screen is showing1. The user inserts card2. The user types in PIN3 The user selects cash with receipt'4. The user selects 505. The user selects no further service' Expected results- The ATM provides 50 to the user- The ATM returns the card and balance slip- The ATM clears the screen- The ATM returns to start menuYou are asked to review this use case.You are asked to review this use case.What is the most important information that is missing from this use case?

• Nothing has been defined for expected response times.
• The use case should also include alternative behaviour.
• More test cases are needed to achieve the minimum acceptable level of coverage.
• Expected results not clearly defined

Rather than developing an e-commerce product, management has decided to acquire a COTS package The e-commerce product needs to interface.with backend applications such a finance, stock control and order delivery. You are asked to define a test plan for this project.Given just the information in the scenario, which of the following software quality characteristics must be included in your test plan?

• Interoperability
• Reliability
• Maintainability
• Portability

During testing of a mobile banking application, traceability matrices are defined and maintained between test cases and user stories. This task is supported by a test management tool. Testing is expected to report on the coverage level of the implemented and tested user stories. Which of the following test types is most likely being performed?

• Functional correctness testing
• Functional appropriateness testing
• Functional completeness testing
• Interoperability testing

In the recent past, you have learned that test automation just using capture & playback tooling, possibly enhanced with some test programming, has limitations. For the next banking project, that will be run using Agile methods, you want to implement a keyword-driven test automation approach. You have already started to define some high-level test cases for the account transfer user story:TC 1 transfer 150 from Lars to Ann, verify Ann's balance to be 150TC 2 transfer 300 from Tim to Ann, verify Ann's balance to be 450In the context of implementing the keyword-driven test automation approach, which of the following activities should now be conducted by the Test Analyst?

• Define keywords to be implemented, eg, check balance.
• Design test navigation scripts.
• Select a tool to support keyword-driven testing
• Work together with a developer to define a test automaton architecture

For an ATM banking project the following applies: 'When the user first inserts a valid credit card, 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 correct PIN code for the card they have used. During the user authentication, the system shall allow the user to enter their PIN 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 number of invalid PIN codes entered, the system may behave incorrectly. Which of the following test design techniques is specifically targeted at finding such failures?

• Equivalence partitioning
• Pairwise testing
• State transition testing using 1-switch coverage
• Classification tree technique

Consider the following scenario for a metro fare system:If you take the metro before 9:30 am or in the afternoon between 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm, you must pay full fare A saver ticket is available for metro rides between 9:30 am and 5:00 pm [both inclusive], and after 7:00 pm.Which off the following test sets will provide the best equivalence partitioning coverage?

• 9:29 am, 5 01 pm, 7:30 pm, 7:31 pm, 8:00 pm
• 9:30 am, 4:00 pm, 6:00 pm, 8 00 pm, 8:30 pm
• 8:00 am, 10:00 am, 5:15 pm, 7:01 pm, 11:00 pm
• 9:30 am, 9:31 am, 4:59 pm, 5:00 pm, 8:00 pm

Ken finds the quality of the tea locally available to be so low, that he decides to research superior teas around the world. He decides to market, sell and distribute these superior teas via the web. His marketing strategy is to offer superior products on a well-designed website that has fast loading graphics, high availability, superior usability and fast response times. The website will offer the following:- An innovative interactive catalogue of teas, which not only enables customers to buy the product, but also enables them to provide feedback by rating the teas (which will influence his stock purchasing levels).- Provide the customer with the ability to use secure credit card transactions.- Provide the customer with the ability to give general feedback.Ken selects an iterative model for the development of the prototypes. The team consists of three developers who are experienced in web development Ken, although he doesn't have a technical skillset, is concerned with quality. He doesn't believe a lot of documentation is necessary and he wants the website to be completed quickly. The test basis contains the following:- Story boards that show the information flow and page links through the site.- HTML pages developed to date- A set of non-functional requirements.With the strategy taking shape, it is decided that exploratory testing should be used to complete the required testing, bearing in mind the nature of the application and the nature of Ken's overall objectives. You have now been given the task of identifying the exploratory tests, which will be executed as test sessions.Which of the options below state what you will typically use for identifying the exploratory tests?

• Apply equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis using the storyboard ideas as a basis to maximise functional coverage
• Use external testers on the team to provide a new approach and fresh view to the testing effort
• Create test chatters to be used to guide the testing
• Define low-level test cases to be executed by the end users.

Consider the following requirement:The system shall allow cash advances of at least 200 Euros for all supported credit cards The following credit cards are supported- American Express, Diners, VISA, Mastercard and Eurocard.The requirement has been identified as business critical.The following test conditions have been derived:1. The system shall allow cash advances of at least 200 Euros2. It shall support American Express, Diners, VISA, Mastercard and Eurocard.Assume you are following a risk-based testing strategy, where likelihood and impact are both assessed on a five-point scale ranging from very low tovery high The requirement R1 was identified as a risk item during the quality risk analysis process. In total 20 risk items were identified during this processAssume that technical project stakeholders have assessed the likelihood of the requirement R1 risk item at a medium level Given only the information above, which of the following statements is true?

• The test cases associated with requirement R1 shall be run first in the test execution period
• The test cases associated with requirement R1 must be run towards the middle of the test execution period.
• A large number of test cases should be designed for requirement R1, based on impact
• The risk impact for requirement R1 should be categorized as high or very high
