The development team is building an application using the "V-model" development lifecycle. Your company has automated testing tools and test management systems for use by dedicated test teams. What would be an effective method to employ your business users in your testing effort?
- A. Provide them with high-level test charters to execute checklists of items to be tested. You may also provide criteria to assist in verifying the application under test.
- B. Using their knowledge of the system, have them construct detailed state transition diagrams, then translate the information into detailed step-by-step test procedures.
- C. Have your business testers create automated test scripts using available test tools to ensure that regression tests can be executed on a timely basis.
- D. With their knowledge of business rules, have them create a detailed decision table, then enter the resulting information into the test management system as step-by-step test cases.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
This is an effective method to employ business users in your testing effort because it allows them to leverage their domain knowledge and experience without requiring them to have technical skills or testing tools. Test charters are high-level descriptions of the test objectives, scope, and approach that guide the testers to explore the system and report any issues they find. Test charters are flexible and can be adapted to different test levels and types. They are also suitable for the V-model development lifecycle, which emphasizes verification and validation at each stage of the development process1 References =

NEW QUESTION # 29
You are working on a hand held product that will be used by carpet salespeople to create estimates while the salesperson is at the customer's location. The carpet installation prices are different based on how much carpet the customer will be buying. If the customer is buying enough only for a small room (less than 20 square yards) the cost to install is $5 a square yard.For a medium room (less than 40 square yards) the cost to install is
$4 a square yard. For a large room (40 square yards or more) the cost to install is $2 a square yard. Two small rooms or one small room plus a set of stairs is priced at the medium room price. Two medium rooms or one medium room plus a set of stairs is priced at the large room price.
Which of the following is the smallest set of test conditions to provide minimum coverage of the equivalence partitions?
- A. One small room, one small room with stairs, one medium room, one medium room with stairs, one large room
- B. No purchase, one small room, one medium room, one large room, one extra large room
- C. One small room, one small room with stairs, two medium rooms
- D. One small room, two medium rooms with stairs
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
The equivalence partitions are based on the size of the carpet purchase and the installation price. There are four possible sizes: small, medium, large, and extra large. There are three possible prices: $5, $4, and $2 per square yard. The smallest set of test conditions that covers all the equivalence partitions is to test each size with its corresponding price, plus a no purchase scenario. Option C is the only one that does that. Option A does not test the large and extra large sizes. Option B does not test the extra large size. Option D tests more than the minimum required.

NEW QUESTION # 30
You have been given a test charter to conduct exploratory testing for accepting credit and debit cards for an e-commerce system. You started with the credit cards and you have found that, valid or invalid, they are never accepted. You have logged this as a defect. What should you do now?
- A. Enter your exploratory test cases with detailed test steps into the Test Management System
- B. Close the session and start a new session with a new charter
- C. Continue the session and conduct the testing for debit cards
- D. Automate the testing for the credit card exploratory tests so they can be used for confirmation testing after the defect is fixed.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The correct answer isD.Automate the testing for the credit card exploratory tests so they can be used for confirmation testing after the defect is fixed.
A).Enter your exploratory test cases with detailed test steps into the Test Management System This is incorrect because entering the test cases into the Test Management System is not enough to document and track the exploratory testing process. The test cases should also include the expected results, actual results, and defects found during the testing. Moreover, the test cases should be organized into a clear and logical structure that reflects the test charter and scope.
B).Close the session and start a new session with a new charter
This is incorrect because closing and starting a new session with a new charter would mean losing all the information and data collected during the previous session. This would make it difficult to resume and continue the testing process from where it left off. Instead, it would be better to use a consistent and stable session with a single charter that covers all the requirements and features of the system.
C).Continue the session and conduct the testing for debit cards
This is incorrect because continuing the session and conducting only one type of card (debit) would not provide a comprehensive coverage of all possible scenarios and outcomes of accepting credit cards. It would also limit the scope of testing to only one aspect of payment processing, which may not reflect all the business rules, validations, exceptions, or integrations involved in this domain.
D).Automate the testing for the credit card exploratory tests so they can be used for confirmation testing after the defect is fixed This is correct because automating some or all of the exploratory tests can help to save time, effort, and resources by reducing manual effort and increasing efficiency. It can also help to improve accuracy, consistency, and reliability by eliminating human errors and biases. Moreover, automating some or all of the exploratory tests can enable them to be reused for confirmation testing after fixing any defects found during exploratory testing.Confirmation testing is a type of functional testing that verifies that all requirements are met by performing regression tests on previously tested functionality1.
NEW QUESTION # 31
The Acme Elevator company uses state-transition diagrams to document the behavior of their elevator doors.
The following text is taken from one of their requirements documents. Convert it into the equivalent state-transition diagram:
When the doors are open, the close command starts the doors closing.
When the doors are closing, the closed sensor indicates that the doors are fully closed.
When the doors are closed, the open command starts the doors opening.
When the doors are opening, the open sensor indicates that the doors are fully open.
If the doors are closing, the open command will start the doors opening.
If the doors are opening, the close command will start the doors closing.
Which state transition diagram most closely represents Acme's elevator door rules?

- A. Option B
- B. Option D
- C. Option A
- D. Option C
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Exhibit B is the only state transition diagram that matches the text description of Acme's elevator door rules. It shows that the doors can transition between four states: Opened, Closing, Closed, and Opening. The transitions are triggered by either commands (open or close) or sensors (opened or closed). The diagram also shows that the open command can reverse the closing state, and the close command can reverse the opening state, as specified in the text. The other exhibits do not show the correct transitions or conditions for the elevator door system. References =

NEW QUESTION # 37
You have been assigned to test an application that allows users to conduct banking online. You have been asked to verify the various installation environments for the product. According to the specification the product supports four browsers (Edge, Chrome, FireFox, and Safari), three operating systems (Windows, Mac, Unix), and four languages (English, Spanish, French, German). As you are reviewing the specifications you realize that the actual operating system names and versions were not included, only the major category. From this, you conclude that if you pick one from each of these sets (for example, select Windows 10 for the Windows OS), that testing should be sufficient.
You have determined that some of these combinations are not interesting and should be excluded from the test sets. For example, you are not interested in testing Safari with Unix in German.
Which of the combinatorial testing techniques would be the best choice when you want to exclude certain combinations?
- A. Orthogonal arrays
- B. Pairwise testing
- C. Classification trees
- D. Cause/effect diagrams
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
Classification trees are a combinatorial testing technique that allows the tester to represent the data items and their values in a graphical form, and to exclude certain combinations by using constraints or rules.
Classification trees can help the tester to visualize and organize the test data, and to generate test cases that cover all relevant combinations of values. The other techniques do not provide a convenient way to exclude certain combinations, or require more complex mathematical calculations. References =
