Which of the following are DEBUGGING activities?
a) Designing tests to find failures.
b) Locating the cause of failures.
c) Analysing and fixing the defects.

Q11. Which option BEST describes how the level of risk is determined?

Q12. A student needs to score at least 50 points to pass. If they score at least 100 points they will achieve a merit and if they score at least 150 points they will achieve a distinction.

Q13. You have been asked to improve the way test automation tools are being used in your company. Which one of the following is the BEST approach?

Q14. You are performing a review of your colleague’s test cases based on the following test basis document:

The Test Cases are as follows:
TC1. Success – valid ‘User Name’ and ‘Password’; Customer Menu displayed TC2. Failure – ‘User Name’ field has blank entry; Error Number 12 displayed TC3. Failure – ‘User Id’ entered does not exist on database (i.e. unregistered user); Error Number 23 displayed TC4. Failure – ‘Password’ entered does not match user’s password on database; Error Number 24 displayed You are guided by the following checklist in your review:
C1. There must be one test case to cover success
C2. There must be one test case for each error path (e.g. validation failure) C3. Each test case must use terminology consistent with the test basis document (field names, error numbering, etc.) Record a separate defect for each missing test case (checklist items C1 and C2) and for each test case that does not meet checklist item C3.
How many defects should you record?

Q15. Which statement about deriving test cases from a use case is TRUE?

Q16. Which of the following are product risks?
a) Failure prone software delivered.
b) Software does not perform its intended functions.
c) Insufficient staff available for testing.
d) Test environment not ready on time.
e) Poor data integrity and quality.

Q18. Which of the following is an approach that can be used for exploratory testing?

Q19. You are performing a review of your colleague’s test cases based on the following test basis document:

Q20. Which one of the following statements about techniques for estimating test effort is correct?

Q21. Which of the following would NOT typically be covered in a test summary report?

Q22. A car insurance policy has 3 rates of insurance depending on the age of the driver. For drivers aged between
17 and 25 inclusive they are charged at rate A, drivers aged between 26 and 50 inclusive are charged at rate B and those drivers aged over 50 are charged at rate C.
You are designing test cases, which of the following three ages would test all valid equivalence partitions and therefore test rate A, B and C?

Q23. Given the following state transition diagram where SS is the start state:

Which of the following answers describes a test case that only uses valid transitions to exercise all states, using the minimum number of transitions?

Q24. Testing effort can depend on a number of factors, which one of the following is MOST likely to impact the amount of effort required?

Q25. During the development of a software change for a system, the developer makes a mistake in his work, which leads to a fault in the code. Unfortunately, the fault is not found by software testing and is released into live.
What is the DEFINITE consequence of this mistake?

Q27. After a record of poor quality software releases (incorrect menu selection options, new features that do not work, users allowed to change security levels without administrator rights), you have been asked to review the test capability in your company.
You have limited time to do the review before the next project, which type of testing would be MOST appropriate to review first?
