A wholesaler sells printer cartridges. The minimum order quantity is 5. There is a 20% discount for orders of 100 or more printer cartridges. You have been asked to prepare test cases using various values for the number of printer cartridges ordered. Which of the following groups contain three test inputs that would be generated using Boundary Value Analysis?

• 5, 6, 20

• 4, 5, 80

• 4, 5, 99

• 1, 20, 100

Which of the following activities should be performed during the selection and implementation of a testing tool?

i) Investigate the organisation’s test process.
ii) Conduct a proof of concept.
iii) Implement the selected tool on a project behind schedule to save time.
iv) Identify coaching and mentoring requirements for the use of the selected tool.

• i, ii, iii.

• ii, iii, iv.

• i, iii, iv.

• i, ii, iv.

What is the MAIN benefit of designing tests early in the life cycle?

• It is cheaper than designing tests during the test phases.

• It helps prevent defects from being introduced into the code.

• Tests designed early are more effective than tests designed later.
  
  

• It saves time during the testing phases when testers are busy.

Which of the following benefits are MOST likely to be achieved by using test tools?

i) Easy to access information about tests and testing.
ii) Reduced maintenance of testware.
iii) Easy and cheap to implement.
iv) Greater consistency of tests.

• ii and iv

• ii and iii

• i and iv

• i and iii

Which  of  the  following  can be  considered  as  success  factors  when  deploying a  new  tool in  an  organization?

• Providing  coaching to  users and  defining usage  guidelines

• Monitoring  tool usage  and  reducing the need for  risk  analysis

• Improving  processes  and  focusing  more on  component  testing

• Assessing  testing  completion  and  minimizing  code  reviews

What is the KEY difference between preventative and reactive approaches to testing?

• Preventative tests and reactive tests are designed as early as possible.

• Preventative tests are designed early; reactive tests are designed after the software has  been produced.

• Preventative testing is always analytical; reactive testing is always heuristic

• Preventative tests are designed after the software has been produced; reactive tests are designed early in response to review comments

What is the purpose of exit criteria?

• To define when a test level is complete.

• To determine when a test has completed.

• To identify when a software system should be retired.

• To determine whether a test has passed.

Which  test  design  technique  relies  heavily  on prior  thorough  knowledge  of the  system?

• Data  driven  testing technique

• Experience-based  technique

• White-box  technique

• Structure-based  technique
