Which option below describes the BEST approach for testing a Medium risk mission- or safety-critical system?
SELECT ONE OPTION

• A. Automated tests optional. Exploratory tests highly recommended, manual Black-box tests recommended
• B. Automated tests recommended. Exploratory tests recommended, manual Black-box tests recommended
• C. Automated tests optional (neutral). Exploratory tests highly recommended, manual Black-box tests optional (neutral).
• D. Automated tests recommended. Exploratory tests highly recommended, manual Black box tests recommended.

Which of the following is a valid reason for including performance testing in a test approach?

• A. To evaluate the system's tolerance to faults in terms of handling unexpected input values.
• B. To evaluate the ability of a system to handle increasing levels of load.
• C. To mitigate the risk of long response times to defects reported by users and/or customers.
• D. To reduce the threat of code insertion into a web page which may be exercised by subsequent users.

A project to replace your company's sales and merchandising system has begun. The old system is still in production but is poorly documented and expensive to maintain: changing it has often produced a large quantity of defects. The new version will be developed using modern techniques and technology.
Requirements include:
* Loading sales data, sent electronically from the stores each evening, into a central database where it is then available for other applications.
* Producing sales reports for the merchandisers, whose job is to manage stock levels in stores.
* Predictions of future demand for each product, based on a combination of sales history and forecasting parameters.
Requirements 1 and 2 are satisfied by the existing system and will be rewritten with no significant changes.
Requirement 3 is new: these forecasting reports will be run overnight, and users will request them by entering simple parameters online during the day.
The sales data are loaded in an overnight batch run. There have been problems at peak periods when this run has taken longer than scheduled, so that dependent jobs could not finish before the start of the working day.
As a Technical Test Analyst, you have been asked to contribute to the project's Master Test Plan. The key stakeholders are:
* The Merchandising Manager, who wants parameter entry to be quick and easy.
* The Data Centre Manager, who requires the new batch jobs to take less time than the old ones.
No specific performance requirements have been given, either for the batch jobs or for online parameter entry.
Which TWO of the following will BEST meet the objectives of the stakeholders?

• A. Conduct performance testing on the data load and report creation, in parallel with functional system testing.
• B. Agree acceptance criteria for performance of the forecasting report parameter data entry features, based on operational profile models.
• C. Agree acceptance criteria for performance of the data load and report creation, based on a quantified improvement over the current system.
• D. Agree acceptance criteria for modifiability, modularity, and reusability, and measure these for change requests implemented after development begins.
• E. Conduct performance testing on the forecasting report parameter data entry features, in parallel with functional system testing.

Which of the following is a reason for the Technical Test Analyst to take the time to prepare for a code review?

• A. Allows time to prepare the test data
• B. Allows time to plan the design and implementation of the item being reviewed
• C. Allows the reviewer time to consider the Interaction of the item being reviewed with other items In the system
• D. Allows time to gather the test metrics for management review

Consider the following section of code:
If ((A > B) or (C > D)) and (E = F) then
print A;
Endlf
Which of the following sets of test data can be used to achieve multiple condition coverage with the least number of tests?

• A. Set 4
• B. Set 3
• C. Set 1
• D. Set 2
