A data driven approach to test automation design is best described as:

1. A. Using action words to describe the actions to be taken, the test data.
2. B. Scaling to support large numbers of users.
3. C. Being based on Equivalence Partitioning testing techniques.
4. D. Separating out the test data inputs and using a generic script that can read the test data and perform the same test steps with different data.

Correct Answer: D

Before an invoice can be created, an account is required. Before an account can be set up, an account user is required (in order to set up the account). The software is delivered with a master user only, who can only create other types of users. The following test cases have been written to test the high-level structure of the software

1. A. Create an invoice
2. B. Amend an invoice
3. C. Process an invoice (send to customer)
4. D. Delete an invoice
5. E. Create an account
6. F. Create an account user
7. G. Amend an account user
8. H. Delete an account user
9. I. Amend an account
10. J. Delete an accountWhich of the following test procedures would enable all tests to be run? [K3]
11. K. f, g, a, c, b, d, e, i, j, h
12. L. e, i, a, c, b, d, f, g, h, j
13. M. e, i, f, g, a, c, b, d, h, j
14. N. f, g, e, i, a, b, c, d, j, h

Correct Answer: D

Which of the following is most likely to be performed by developers?

1. A. Technical review of a functional specification.
2. B. Walkthrough of a requirements document.
3. C. Informal review of a program specification.
4. D. Static analysis of a software mode

Correct Answer: D
Static analysis is done almost exclusively by developers. The other review types would be performed using a combination of developers, testers and other interested stakeholders.

For which of the following activities in the fundamental test process would an incident management tool be most useful?

1. A. Test planning and control
2. B. Test analysis and design
3. C. Test implementation and execution
4. D. Evaluating exit criteria and reporting

Correct Answer: C
Incident management tools are most useful during test implementation and execution as this is the stage at which the tool is used to raise, manage, retest and close incidents.
The data collected during the defect life cycle can then be manipulated into information that is useful for other activities within the fundamental test process.
Information on numbers of defects outstanding may be useful for evaluating exit criteria (option (D)). This information could also be used for planning future testing and for taking control (option (A)).
Incident management tools can also assist in test analysis and design (option (B)) as information about defects found when testing the previous release of the system could be used when analyzing the type of testing required for the next enhancement.

From the following list, which of the following apply to experience-based techniques? [K2]

1. A. Test cases are derived from a model of the problem to be solved or the software
2. B. Test cases are derived from the knowledge of the testers
3. C. The knowledge of testers, developers and users is used to drive testing
4. D. The internal structure of the code is used to derive test cases
5. E. a and b.
6. F. c and d.
7. G. a and d.
8. H. b and

Correct Answer: D
