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

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

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. 288
• B. 36
• C. 12
• D. 16

You are working on a project to build an application that will handle insurance claims. The main requirements for the system are that it shall:
* Allow users to enter details of claims that have been submitted by insured customers.
* Take each claim through a workflow that will allow an assessor to approve the request, reject it or request clarification from the claimant.
* Send approved requests to the accounts payable system for payment.
The solution is being developed according to the company's standard V-model methodology. The requirements are clearly documented and include a business process model. Operational profiles have been created to guide performance testing.
A risk-based approach to testing is used; frequency of use and role of the user are major factors in feature risk assessment.
System testing has almost finished but a major change to the approval workflow is just about to be delivered.
A standard regression test pack has not yet been established, but ad-hoc regression testing has already been performed on earlier builds.
As a TA. you have updated the list of product risks and must now decide the scope of the regression testing.
Which pair of techniques will be MOST effective for selecting the regression tests?
a) History-based, driven by the results of the regression tests run so far b) Risk-based, driven by the updated list of product risks and its traceability to the tests c) Operational profile-based, driven by the likely patterns of use of the relevant transactions d) Requirement traceability matrix-based, driven by the links from affected requirements to related tests e) Impact analysis, driven by consultation with technical stakeholders to identify what might be affected.

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