You are an experienced tester on a project with incomplete requirements and under pressure to deploy.
What type of testing should you do?

1. A. Decision-based testing.
2. B. Checklist-based testing.
3. C. Error guessing.
4. D. Exploratory testing.

Correct Answer: D
When working on a project with incomplete requirements and under pressure to deploy, exploratory testing is particularly suitable. This type of testing allows testers to use their expertise and intuition to explore the system's functionality and identify defects without needing detailed specifications. Exploratory testing is flexible and can quickly adapt to changes and gaps in the requirements.

Which TWO of the following are benefits of continuous integration?

1. A. Allows earlier detection and easier root cause analysis of integration problems and conflicting changes.I
2. B. Removes the need for manual test analysis, design and execution.H
3. C. Removes the dependency on automated regression packs when integrating larger systems, or components.i
4. D. Gives the development team regular feedback on whether the code is workin
5. E. Select the correct Answer:
6. F. i and iv
7. G. i and ii
8. H. i and iii
9. I. iii and iv

Correct Answer: A
The benefits of continuous integration include: i. Allows earlier detection and easier root cause analysis of integration problems and conflicting changes. iv. Gives the development team regular feedback on whether the code is working. These benefits help in maintaining the stability and quality of the codebase by integrating and testing changes frequently and providing quick feedback to developers.

For the same financial institution in Question 12, with the same requirements and expectations, what would be the most likely investment values used in testing if two-point boundary value analysis is used to design test cases specific to the 13% interest rate equivalence partition?

1. A. R100 000, R100 001, R500 000, R500 001.
2. B. R99 999, R100 000, R499 999, R500 000.
3. C. R100 000. R500 000.
4. D. R99 000, R500 001.

Correct Answer: A
For boundary value analysis, the test cases should include the boundary values just inside and just outside the equivalence partition for the 13% interest rate range:
✑ R100,000 (just inside the previous range)
✑ R100,001 (start of the 13% range)
✑ R500,000 (end of the 13% range)
✑ R500,001 (just outside the range)
These values ensure that both the edges of the partition are tested.

Which review type, also known as a ??buddy check??, is commonly used in Agile development?

1. A. Inspection.
2. B. Walkthrough.
3. C. Technical review.
4. D. Informal review.

Correct Answer: D
In Agile development, an informal review, often referred to as a "buddy check," is a common review type. Informal reviews are unstructured and involve a pair of colleagues reviewing each other??s work to identify defects early and provide immediate feedback. This type of review is less formal than inspections or walkthroughs and is particularly suitable for Agile environments where rapid feedback and flexibility are essential.

In Agile teams, testers closely collaborate with all other team members. This close collaboration could be problematic and result in testing-related organizational risks.
Which TWO of the following organization risks could be encountered? I.Testers lose motivation and fail at their core tasks.
ii.Close interaction with developers causes a loss of the appropriate tester mindset. iii.Testers are not able to keep pace with incoming changes in time-constrained iterations.
iv.Testers, once they have acquired technical development or business skills, leave the testing team.

1. A. ii and iii
2. B. i and iii
3. C. i and ii
4. D. ii and iv

Correct Answer: D
In Agile teams, close collaboration among testers and other team members can lead to organizational risks such as: ii. Close interaction with developers causes a loss of the appropriate tester mindset. iv. Testers, once they have acquired technical development or business skills, leave the testing team.
These risks highlight the potential issues of diminished testing perspective and team turnover when testers integrate closely with developers and other roles.
