The following minimized decision table shows the rules for rewarding members of a hotel's loyalty scheme who have booked a room, according to the type of room (luxury or not) and/or whether they have prepaid for breakfast (yes or no). The loyalty scheme has tiers Bronze, Silver and Gold. All combinations are feasible.

Using the checksum procedure, what do you notice about the structure of the minimized table?

• A. The decision table is incomplete, in the sense that at least one condition value is not represented in any of the rules
• B. The table may have been minimized correctly
• C. There is rule overlap, in the sense that one combination is covered by > 1 rule, or additional rules are not shown
• D. There are additional rules that are not shown

Your company, which specializes in medical software, has designed an application for use on smartphones and tablets, that calculates a person's BMI (Body Mass Index). How can a test analyst BEST contribute to adaptability testing for this application?

• A. Verifying that correct BMIs have been calculated correctly for a range of weight, height and ethnic background inputs
• B. Ensuring that the application launches successfully and functions correctly after downloading an updated version
• C. Designing tests to verify that the application works on as many as possible of the intended target devices
• D. Ensuring that the application co-exists with other health applications without adversely affecting their performance

You are working on a project to replace an old sales and merchandising system with a new system that will be based on modern platforms. The old system Is still in production but is poorly documented and expensive to maintain. The new version will be developed using modern technology. The main requirements for the system are that it shall:
* Load sales data, sent electronically from the stores each evening, into a central database.
* Produce actual sales reports for the merchandisers, whose job is to manage stock levels in stores.
* Produce sales forecast reports based on a combination of sales history and forecasting parameters. The parameters will be entered by the merchandisers into a browser-based front end and the reports will be produced overnight. The users will be able to see the reports next day, on screen or in print, by requesting this through the browser.
Requirements 1 and 2 are satisfied by the existing system and will be rewritten with no significant changes.
Requirement 3 is new. The development will use your company's Agile SDLC, with 2-week iterations.
Technical skill levels in the team are high and the approach to automate test execution is aggressive. Each requirement will be specified with user stories, will be released only when complete, and will need more than one iteration. The main business benefit will come from requirement 3, which depends on the other two requirements, and the stakeholders are keen to get this into production as soon as possible.
Release planning has begun for requirement 3 and you need to know at a high level what the testing scope will be, to ensure that the correct resources will be available. Which functional test techniques will be MOST effective for this release?
a) Domain testing
b) Combinatorial testing
c) Random testing
d) CRUD testing
e) Scenario-based testing
f) Decision table testing
g) Exploratory testing

• A. a), b) and d)
• B. b), c) and g)
• C. a), e) and f)
• D. c), e) and f)

Your company, which specializes in medical software, has designed an application for use on smartphones and tablets that calculates a person's BMI, Body Mass Index.
How can a Test Analyst BEST contribute to interoperability testing for this application?

• A. Verifying that the application integrates with the national health service system, receiving and processing the correct BMI data file
• B. Verifying that the application works on all intended target smartphones and tablet devices and their operating systems
• C. Verifying that users with disabilities can access their BMI effectively and efficiently using the application
• D. Verifying that the application co-exists with other health applications on the target device without affecting their performance

Your project is developing an application to generate quotes for motor insurance. The calculation requires a wide range of input data and a reliable model of it has been built in a spreadsheet. There will not be enough time to get adequate functional correctness coverage from the base choice or pairwise techniques, so you have decided to do some random testing based on a probability distribution of variable values that is weighted towards their business criticality.
Which limitation of random testing should you be MOST concerned about?

• A. Generating tests that will exercise the same conditions repeatedly
• B. Missing defects that are rooted in the meaning of data semantics
• C. Dependency on an automated test oracle to establish test results
• D. The tests will focus on validation rather than verification
