ISQI CTAL-TA_V4.0 Value Pack (Frequently Bought Together)

You are working on a project to build a purchasing system. The main requirements for the system are that it shall:
* Allow users to enter details of items that they wish to have purchased and, from these details, create a purchase request.
* Take each purchase request through a workflow that will allow the requestor's line manager to approve the request, reject it or return it for clarification / modification.
* Forward approved requests to the Purchasing Department.
* Allow purchasers to find the best available supplier for each approved request and place the request on that supplier as a purchase order.
The solution is being developed according to the company's traditional V-model methodology. The requirements are clearly documented and include a business process model.
System testing has finished and the test manager has asked you, the senior TA, to identify any parts of the product that should be focused on during acceptance testing. The results of this may be used to adjust the acceptance test plan.
You are using defect cluster analysis, only counting defects with severity levels 1 to 3, ignoring low severity levels 4 and 5. Function point analysis was used for estimating, so you have used function points as the unit of size for the various functional areas of the product. No numeric estimates of expected defect quantities were made for them individually but, as a result of product risk analysis, these functional areas have been ranked according to the amount of product risk that was predicted in them, with risk ranking 1 being the highest and
5 the lowest; the thoroughness of the testing performed so far has been proportional to that. The results are presented in the table below.

You are assigned to an Agile team as a Test Analyst. In most ways, the team seems to be working well.
Iteration planning goes smoothly because the user stories are good quality. Most defects that are found by testing are fixed in the same iteration and those that do go live are not causing significant dissatisfaction amongst stakeholders. However, the team is unhappy because the Defect Removal Efficiency rate, measured for each iteration, is less than 80%.
What would be the MOST effective contribution by you as a TA, to improve the situation?

• A. Reviewing requirements
• B. Participating in root cause analysis
• C. Defect data collection and evaluation
• D. Participating in retrospectives

You are testing a program which calculates the best airspeed for optimal fuel economy of a new type of aero engine. The result depends on atmospheric pressure at the airplane's current height, the air temperature at the airplane's current height, and on the airplane's current fuel load. The best airspeed:
* decreases by 4 knots (nautical miles per hour) for every 5mb (millibar) decrease in atmospheric pressure,
* increases by 6 knots for every 1°C decrease in air temperature,
* increases by 1 knot for every 1,000kg decrease in fuel load.
You have a test case which predicts that at an atmospheric pressure of 1,000 mb, an air temperature of 10°C and a fuel load of 400,000kg, the optimal airspeed for an Airbus A380 is 600 knots.
Which test case would verify the metamorphic relation described in the three bullet points above?

• A. Pressure 950mb, temp. 11°C, fuel 400,000kg, optimal airspeed = 610 knots
• B. Pressure 1050mb, temp. 9°C, fuel 350,000kg, optimal airspeed = 590 knots
• C. Pressure 950mb, temp. 10°C, fuel 360,000kg, optimal airspeed = 620 knots
• D. Pressure 950mb, temp. 9°C, fuel 350,000kg, optimal airspeed = 616 knots

The test basis for your latest project contains the activity diagram that is shown below. The business architect has confirmed that this model has been reviewed and approved by the stakeholders.

Which of the following conclusions is correct?

• A. The diagram contains at least one defect because it contains an internal inconsistency
• B. The diagram is correct because it has been reviewed and approved by the stakeholders
• C. The diagram may contain a defect but this cannot be confirmed until the results of the tests created from it are known
• D. The diagram may contain a defect but this cannot be confirmed until test cases have been designed from it

You are testing the functional correctness of an application which generates quotes for motor insurance. The amount of the quote is governed by a combination of the following factors:
* Type of Cover, can be: comprehensive, third party damage only, or third party damage + fire and theft
* Vehicle Engine Size, can be: < 1500cc, < 2000cc, < 2500cc, > =2500cc
* Driving Licence Type, can be: fully qualified, or student driver
* Vehicle Storage Type, can be: locked garage, or unlocked private place, or public place
* Time Since Last Claim, can be: < 1year, < 2yrs, < 3yrs, > =3yrs
In order to achieve full PAIRWISE coverage, how many combinations must be tested?

• A. 16
• B. 36
• C. 288
