. Which of the following can be useful as a test oracle the first time a test is run?. Which of the following can be useful as a test oracle the first time a test is run? 2 answer

• Bug reports from previous test execution

• Requirements specification

• Tester's annual performance evaluation

• The source code

  Test summary report

• Legacy system

Assume you are a test analyst working on a banking project to upgrade an existing automated teller machine system to allow customers to obtain cash advances from supported credit cards. During test design, you identify a discrepancy between the list of supported credit cards in the requirements specification and the design specification. This is an example of what?

• Test design as a static test technique

• A defect in the requirements specification

• A defect in the design specification

• Starting test design too early in the project

Which of the following is not always a pre condition for test execution?

• A properly configured test environment

• A thoroughly specified test procedure

• A process for managing identified defects

• A test oracle

Assume you are a test analyst working on a banking project to upgrade an existing automated teller machine system to allow customers to obtain cash advances from supported credit cards. One of the exit criteria in the test plan requires documentation of successful cash advances of at least 500 euros for all supported credit cards. The correct list of supported credit cards is American Express, Visa, Japan Credit Bank, Eurocard, and MasterCard.

After test execution, a complete list of cash advance test results shows the following:

o American Express allowed advances of up to 1,000 euros.

o Visa allowed advances of up to 500 euros.

o Eurocard allowed advances of up to 1,000 euros.

o MasterCard allowed advances of up to 500 euros.

Which of the following statements is true?

• The exit criterion fails due to excessive advances for American Express and Eurocard

• The exit criterion fails due to a discrepancy between American Express and Eurocard on the one hand and Visa and MasterCard on the other hand.

• The exit criterion passes because all supported cards allow cash advances of at least the minimum required amount.

• The exit criterion fails because we cannot document Japan Credit Bank results.

Assume you are a test analyst working on a banking project to upgrade an existing automated teller machine system to allow customers to obtain cash advances from supported credit cards. The system

should allow cash advances of at least 500 euros for all supported credit cards. The correct list of supported credit cards is American Express, Visa, Japan Credit Bank, Eurocard, and MasterCard. Among the various quality risk items you identify during risk analysis, you have the following, listed in order of perceived level of risk from most risky to least risky:

o Visa or MasterCard unable to obtain any cash advances

o American Express or Eurocard unable to obtain any cash advances

o Japan Credit Bank unable to obtain any cash advances

o Visa or MasterCard cash advances improperly limited

o American Express or Eurocard cash advances improperly limited

o Japan Credit Bank cash advances improperly limited

Assume that, in the following list, each test case requires exactly one hour of test analyst effort to run. Which of the following is a comma-separated, sequenced list of test cases that covers these risks in a way that is appropriate to the level of risk and that minimizes test effort?

• Test minimum American Express and Eurocard advances; test minimum Visa and MasterCard advances; test minimum Japan Credit Bank advances.

• Test minimum and maximum Visa and MasterCard advances; test minimum and maximum American Express and Eurocard advances; test minimum and maximum Japan Credit Bank advances.

• Test minimum Visa and MasterCard advances; test minimum American Express and Eurocard advances; test minimum Japan Credit Bank advances; test maximum Visa and MasterCard advances; test maximum American Express and Eurocard advances; test maximum Japan Credit Bank advances.

• Test maximum American Express and Eurocard advances; test maximum Visa and MasterCard advances; test maximum Japan Credit Bank advances.

Assume you have the following three documents or reports available to you at the appropriate point during a project:

I. Checklist of important quality characteristics for your product

II. Historical information from similar past projects on where defects were found and how serious those defects were

III. A Pareto analysis of the subsystems where defects have been discovered so far during test execution on this project

Which of the following statements matches each of these items with the risk management activity the item will most benefit?

• I: risk identification; II: risk assessment; III: risk control

• I: risk control; II: risk assessment; III: risk identification

• I: risk identification; II: risk control; III: risk assessment

• I: risk assessment; II: risk control; III: risk identification
