You are testing a hospital patient management system. New or amended patient data is captured by hospital administrators using an in-house patient capture application and transmitted to one or more hospital departments depending on the nature of the medical condition. Each department operates its own software package.

There has been a change to the patient capture application, and you are going to run a series ofinteroperability tests.

Which TWO of the following are NOT interoperability defects?

a) The patient name field is truncated on one of the receiving department systems

b) Hospital administrators find the new patient-capture application screens difficult to navigate

c) Two department systems are unable to recognize the format of international telephone numbers for foreign patients

d) Existing patient data takes too long to retrieve by the patient-capture application

e) There are spelling errors in the field names on some screens

SELECT ONE OPTION:

You are testing the processing of a critical traffic control system to which various regulations apply The processing of the input variables is dependent

on defined ranges within which the actual retrieved data values can lie.

Which of the following black-box test techniques should you use to test the processing functionality of this system?

As a Test Analyst, you have been given a set of requirements that have been defined for the payment module of a new public transport system The set includes the following requirements:

P101 The product shall calculate the lowest fare for the destination considering day of week and time, (priority: medium)

P102 The product shall compare the traveler's payment with the calculated payment (priority: high)

P103 The product shall provide feedback if the payment is not sufficient (priority: high)

P104 The product will process payments within 20 seconds at all priority 1 stations during peak hours (priority high)

Which set of requirements will typically be tested by a Test Analyst?

Coverage Rules:

One test case for basic behavior

Multiple alternate behaviors may be incorporated into one test case if mutually compatible

Nested alternate behaviors (like retry attempts) should be amalgamated into a single test case

You work for a software testing consultancy firm,SOFTEST, that specializes in the travel industry. It has built up a portfolio of clients across two main travel sectors: thecruiseandrailsectors. SOFTEST has an established test process, an experienced team of testers, and maintains comprehensive organizational defect taxonomies for both sectors.

A project has started for a new cruise sector client. It will deliver a newuser interfaceallowing customers to search for cruises using several drop-down fields, each with many values, providing a much greater range of combinations than customers previously had. The project is using aSCRUM methodologywith 2-week sprints and well-specified user stories.

Which option below describes the BEST test techniques to apply for each project?

SELECT ONE OPTION:

For an ATM banking project the following applies: "When the user first inserts a valid credit card, the system considers the user to be in an unauthenticated state. When requesting a cash advance, the user must be in an authenticated state. The user authenticates by entering the correct PIN code for the card they have used. During the user authentication, the system shall allow the user to enter their PIN code up to three times before failing the authentication and rejecting the card. On the first and second try, the system shall prompt the user to re-enter the PIN code " Suppose you are concerned that, depending on the number of invalid PIN codes entered, the system may behave incorrectly. Which of the following test design techniques is specifically targeted at finding such failures?

Which test technique is MOST closely associated with classification tree diagrams?
