Tax system
A tax system needs to be updated due to new legislation. For a person with a salary of less than EUR
20.000 and who is married, the tax needs to be re-calculated. If the person also has more than two and less than five children, an additional 10% reduction is applicable.
How many input classes can be distinguished when applying equivalence partitioning to the "Tax System" specification?
[K3] 2 credits

• A. 7
• B. 5
• C. 6
• D. 8

You are testing the processing of a critical traffic control system to which various regulations apply. The processing of the input variables is dependent of defined ranges within which the actual retrieved data values can lie.
Which of the following test techniques will you use to the processing functionality of the traffic control system?
[K4] 3 credits

• A. state transition testing
• B. defect taxonomies
• C. exploratory testing
• D. equivalence partitioning enhanced with boundary value analysis

Which of the following descriptions is an example of the use of defect taxonomies?
Number of correct answers: 1
[K2] 1 credit

• A. Following a defect management process through testing
• B. Grouping defects found in execution by functional areas
• C. Using a list of known defect types to penetrate the security of computer systems
• D. Running tests with the aim of finding as many defects as possible

Ken, an entrepreneur in Leeds finds the quality of the tea locally available so low, that he decides to research superior teas around the world. He decides to market, sell and distribute these superior teas via the web. His market strategy is to offer superior products on a well-designed website with graphics that are fast to load, has high availability, superior usability and fast response times.
The website will offer the following:
-An innovative interactive catalogue of teas, which not only enables customers to buy the product, but also enables them to provide feedback by rating the teas (which will influence his stock purchasing levels)
-Provide the customer with the ability to use secure credit card transactions
-Provide the customer to give general feedback
Ken selects an iterative model for the development of the prototypes. The team consists of three developers that are experienced in web development. Ken, although he doesn't have technical skillset, is concerned with quality. He doesn't believe a lot of documentation is necessary and he wants the website to be completed quickly.
The test basis contains the following:
-Story boards that show the information flow and page links through the site
-HTML pages developed to date.
-A statement of non-functional requirements.
With the strategy taking shape, Ken asks your advice on the specific testing techniques that should be used to complete the required testing, bearing in mind the nature of the application and the nature of Ken's overall objectives.
We now make the assumption that in the scenario described as above, exploratory testing was selected as being the main test technique. You have now been given the task of specifying, executing and recording the exploratory test sessions.
Select TWO of the options below to define what you will typically use for specifying, executing and recording the sessions?
[K3] 2 credits

• A. Define concrete test cases to be executed by the developers.
• B. Use external testers on the team to provide a new approach and fresh view to the testing effort.
• C. Create test charters for planned test session.
• D. Record the results in email and send the email to the test manager.
• E. Use debriefing sessions with stakeholders and other testers to discuss the findings and new risks identified.
