* RS-BK14 - Upon successful processing of payment for a new flight booking, the system shall complete the process by displaying a message notifying the customer that the booking reservation has been applied, appended by the booking reference number and, where applicable, the pre-paid seat numbers.
Which test condition is an example of functional appropriateness testing for this requirement?

A. Where the customer has requested and pre-paid for specific seat numbers on a new flight booking, message BK14 shall be displayed along with the booking reference number and the correct seat numbers
B. After a new flight booking has been processed, an email shall be sent to the customer's email address, confirming the booking reservation details
C. The system generated booking reference number shall be displayed to the customer, for each new flight booking
D. After successful processing of a payment for a new flight booking, message BK14 shall be displayed to the customer confirming that the booking reservation has been applied

Question 2

You are working on a project to build a purchasing system. The main requirements for the system are that it shall:
* Allow users to enter details of items that they wish to have purchased and, from these details, create a purchase request.
* Take each purchase request through a workflow that will allow the requestor's line manager to approve the request, reject it or return it for clarification / modification.
* Forward approved requests to the Purchasing Department.
* Allow purchasers to find the best available supplier for each approved request and place the request on that supplier as a purchase order.
The solution is being developed according to the company's traditional V-model methodology. The requirements are clearly documented and include a business process model.
The main release has now been live for three months and you are working on the first maintenance release.
The test manager has asked you, the senior TA, to identify those parts of the test process which were most and least effective at finding defects in the main release.
You have collected statistics for the independent test activities, i.e. excluding developers' testing, including only the 178 defects in the three highest of your five defect severity levels. The results are presented in the table below:

Assume that all defects not found at the first opportunity could have been, e.g. that all defects that escaped into acceptance testing were within the scope and objectives of system testing. By applying Defect detection percentage (DDP) analysis, which test activity was LEAST effective?

A. Test analysis, including requirements review
B. Test design, including solution design review
C. System testing
D. Acceptance testing

Question 3

Your company, which specializes in medical software, has designed an application for use on smartphones and tablets, that calculates a person's BMI (Body Mass Index). How can a test analyst BEST contribute to adaptability testing for this application?

A. Designing tests to verify that the application works on as many as possible of the intended target devices
B. Ensuring that the application launches successfully and functions correctly after downloading an updated version
C. Verifying that correct BMIs have been calculated correctly for a range of weight, height and ethnic background inputs
D. Ensuring that the application co-exists with other health applications without adversely affecting their performance

Question 4

How is a Test Analyst involved in an Incremental SDLC model?

A. In all increments, the Test Analyst organises the test activities in the same way
B. In all increments, the Test Analyst performs the test activities in a dynamic and adaptive way
C. In each increment, the Test Analyst performs the test activities cyclically
D. In each increment, the Test Analyst always performs the same test activities

Question 5

You are working on a project to build an application that will handle insurance claims. The main requirements for the system are that it shall:
* Allow users to enter details of claims that have been submitted by insured customers.
* Take each claim through a workflow that will allow an assessor to approve the request, reject it or request clarification from the claimant.
* Send approved requests to the accounts payable system for payment.
The solution is being developed according to the company's standard V-model methodology. The requirements are clearly documented and include a business process model. Operational profiles have been created to guide performance testing.
A risk-based approach to testing is used; frequency of use and role of the user are major factors in feature risk assessment.
System testing has almost finished but a major change to the approval workflow is just about to be delivered.
A standard regression test pack has not yet been established, but ad-hoc regression testing has already been performed on earlier builds.
As a TA. you have updated the list of product risks and must now decide the scope of the regression testing.
Which pair of techniques will be MOST effective for selecting the regression tests?
a) History-based, driven by the results of the regression tests run so far b) Risk-based, driven by the updated list of product risks and its traceability to the tests c) Operational profile-based, driven by the likely patterns of use of the relevant transactions d) Requirement traceability matrix-based, driven by the links from affected requirements to related tests e) Impact analysis, driven by consultation with technical stakeholders to identify what might be affected.

A. b) and e)
B. a) and e)
C. b) and c)
D. c) and d)
