Options:

A.

Automated testing conducted in the delivery environment helps validate that the delivery has been successful

B.

Continuous testing is the process that delivers the code to the test environment

C.

Question 6

You have been working as a tester in an Agile team You have found that the user stories are being defined by the team but it is still unclear what will be a successful outcome Even after story elaboration you are still unclear as to what a story should do As a result, you're not really sure what to test or to know when you'll be done with testing This problem is becoming worse as completed stories are showcased but the product owner is unhappy with the results

You've looked into the matter further and the comments from the product owner indicate that features are missing from the stories. The story is functioning correctly within the limited definition of the story but the product owner is expecting more functionality, such as error handling that isn't being defined in the story

What technique should you implement that would help to further define the product owner's expectations and alleviate the issues that are arising during the show cases?

Options:

A.

TDD by the developers before they begin coding

B.

BDD by the developers when unit tests are being created

The test execution time becomes longer making it difficult to get all the tests run as often as desired

C.

The test suite continues to grow making source control difficult to manage

D.

The time it takes to create new tests increases exponentially as new features are added to the code

Question 8

Which of the following statements about performing exploratory testing with test charters is

correct?

Options:

A.

In contrast to black-box testing, the expected result is documented after a defect is found

and not as part of test design

B.

Test charters are a useful tool to be used for testing when a detailed specification for the

system under test is available

C.

The result of performing exploratory testing by using test charters is finding defects and

specification defects

D.

Exploratory testing and black-box testing use the same metrics for measuring test coverage

Question 9

You are working in a project that developed a product that has reached a stable state and is

deployed on different HW configurations all over Europe.

You management decided to use your project as Proof of Concept for adopting CI as a new way of

working. The POC was implemented on one set of hardware and was successful.

Which of the following actions is a good next step?

Options:

A.

Enable different test configurations in the CI process to test different configurations that are

deployed in the market

B.

Speed up test execution by decreasing the amount of User Interface (UI) testing to get

faster feedback from the CI tests

C.

Reduce the number of tests in the CI test suite, to improve the benefit of the CI approach

D.

Implement code to dynamically select CI tests, executing only test cases affected by

changes

Question 10

An increased proportion of automated test coverage often leads to a greater degree of manual

testing that follows reactive strategies, because:

Options:

A.

Many of the tests that can be prepared upfront, will be automated which enables the testers

to spend more time for execution of manual tests

B.

An increase of the proportion of automated test increases test coverage, and the uncovered

areas are to be tested reactively

C.

If the proportion of automated tests increases, manual tests focus on the riskiest areas

which are identified reactively

D.

Reactive strategies consider the current context and status of the project and the system

under test. To be able to adopt to this status most flexible a greater degree of manual

testing is necessary

Options:

A.

Write the missing web service yourself and then hand over that code to the developers for further refinement

B.

Have the automation create a stub to replace the service for each execution and destroy the stub after execution is complete

C.

Question 12

You are testing a new feature in the current iteration. The feature is supposed to take the input of a name and return the number of characters in the name. This information is used by another feature that will determine the size needed on a form. The acceptance criteria state the following

SELECT ONE OPTION

Options:

A.

Increasing test automation levels may decrease the frequency at which continuous deployments to production can be made

B.

Increasing test automation levels will eliminate the need for manual testing during continuous deployment

C.

Increasing test automation levels to increase the frequency of continuous deployment should always be an objective

D.

Minimizing the test suite by selecting, preparing and running only a subset of tests by using risk analysis should always be an objective

Question 14

You are defining the test approach for an Agile project that is developing a system that will control traffic lights at busy road junctions based on input from sensors that measure traffic density and flow rates on the roads leading to the junctions. It i s a safety-critical application but. because of the skill and experience of the project team, a risk assessment has determined that its risk level is low.

Question 15

A new Payroll system calculates the amount of tax that each employee must pay (TaxToPay) on their gross monthly salary (in (), and the net salary (NetSal) that they will receive after that amount of tax has been deducted It also calculates the amounts of tax (TaxPdYTD) and net salary (SalPdYTD) paid in the year to date (YTD) by adding them to the stored amounts from last month (for month 1 these will be zero), inputs Include Employee id (Empid) and Gross Salary this month (GrossSal). Tax Rate is looked up on the key of Employee Id, the amounts of tax and net salary paid in the year to date are looked up on the key of (Employee Id and [month • 1]) except that for month 1 they will be zero.

if both employees were paid the same in month 1 as in the current month 2. for which tax has now to be calculated, which data-driven input and expected output table is correct for this situation?

Question 22

You are defining the test approach for an Agile project release which is to develop an improved user interface for a golf club's booking system plus some additional features that will provide more flexible bookings across the three courses The improvements have been primarily driven by customer complaints that the booking system is difficult to follow and restrictive The release will be divided into six two-week sprints

The stakeholders have performed a risk assessment for the release and have determined that whilst the system is not mission critical, customer business could be lost and thus a risk level of High has been agreed. As there is may be a high degree of change to the screen design and functionality across the sprints, a regression-averse strategy is recommended.
