• Question 103:

  Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

  A. Test cases are made up of input values, expected results and actual results developed to cover test objectives

  B. Test cases are sequences of actions for test execution specified during the test implementation activity

  C. Test cases are derived during the test design activity to cover test objectives or test conditions

• Question 104:

  As the last stage of a test cycle of an embedded device, you are performing exploratory testing. You

  observed that some characters (A, X and Z) sent via a serial port to the device do not get registered on the

  device whereas they should be.

  You suspect that this could be due to a wrong configuration of the "bit parity" parameter.

  Which of the following items of an incident report would you be UNABLE to write down based on this

  information?

  A. Test setup details

  B. Actual result

  C. Expected result

  D. Test case identifier

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 105:

  Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

  A. Functional tests consider the external behavior of the software.

  B. Functional tests may be performed at all test levels.

  C. Non-functional tests may be performed at all test levels.

  D. Non-functional tests test the interoperability with other systems.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 106:

  Who closes normally the defect reports?

  A. Marketing

  B. Analysts

  C. Developers

  D. Testers

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 107:

  A program controls a switch: The program has three buttons:

  -"ON" to turn the switch ON, or leaves it ON if it were ON.

  -

  "OFF" to turn the switch OFF, or leaves it OFF if it were OFF.

  -

  "Toggle" to change the state of the switch (turn it ON if it was OFF; turn it OFF if it was ON)

  The following drawing shows drawing shows the state diagram of the program (only the states are marked; the arrows mark possible transitions and are intentionally left unlabeled)

  

  What percentage of the transitions in the State Transition diagram is guaranteed to be covered by the test case given above?

  Note: The number of covered transitions depends on the initial state of the switch! Look for the minimum coverage case.

  

  A. 33%

  B. 83%

  C. 50%

  D. 66%

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 108:

  Which of the following issues cannot be identified by static analysis tools?

  A. Referencing a variable with an undefined value

  B. Very low MTBF (Mean Time Between failure)

  C. Security vulnerabilities

  D. Potentially endless loops

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 109:

  Which of the following statements is a basic testing principle?

  A. Testing always enhances the software's quality

  B. The number of detected defects is proportional to the hours invested in testing

  C. Testing can be effective only if done by an independent testing expert

  D. Testing cannot prove that there are no defects

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 110:

  A company that created software for managing libraries won a contract to write an application for managing inventories in a large hospital pharmacy.

  The test manager decided that the test policy and all work procedures must be reviewed and updates to meet this new challenge.

  Which of the following is the best explanation for this decision?

  A. Large organizations have bigger budgets and hence strict testing is required

  B. The size of the software for the new project is different than previous ones. This requires more testing.

  C. Revising the test policy and work procedures need not be done at the beginning of each project

  D. Different industries have different risks and quality requirements. This impacts the test process.

  Correct Answer: D
