Which of the following statements best describes employees who smoke versus those who are non smokers?

Q2: Which of the following is a type of testing that someone in the role of a Test Analyst, working with the Test Manager, should typically consider and plan for?

Q3: A project has been initiated to collect and analyze usage of a web-based search tool in order to optimize search results for particular groups of users. The project will build on initial analysis of user data collected over a period of time and will aim to refine the collection and analysis ‘engines’ so that relevant data can be collected and analyzed in real time, enabling users to focus their search moreeffectively.The project will use agile techniques in an iterative/incremental life cycle. Requirements are based on user stories and these will be explored during short ‘sprints’. The sprints will be grouped to focus on data collection for the first part of the project and analysis for the second part.Risks include the inability to analyze the volume of data collected, inability to collect data for the desired analysis, inadequate speed and response times, and poor user interface. The testing for the first part has been scoped and requirements have been documented and reviewed with no major concerns arising.

Which one of the following answers describes the most appropriate and complete sequence of activities for the TA to focus on during test analysis and design?

A    Analyze user stories, select test case design techniques, create high level test conditions for risk mitigation, create test cases to achieve desired coverage for user stories, create risk mitigation test cases

B    Select test case design techniques, create high level test cases to meet test conditions, create high level test cases to mitigate risks, create low level tests cases to achieve desired coverage.

C    Analyze risks, create test conditions to address risks, create high level test cases to meet test conditions for risk mitigation and user stories, create all low level test cases.

D    Analyze user stories, identify test conditions at appropriate levels to address userstories, add test conditions for risk mitigation, select test case design techniques to

achieve desired coverage, create test cases

Q4: Which one of the following statements does NOT give a good reason why test cases should be reviewed and understood by stakeholders?

A    Customer and users review the test cases in order to verify them against requirements, business processes and business rules

B    The test manager reviews the test cases in order to control the work of the test analyst and to create the organization’s test strategy

C    Testers review test cases written by other testers in order to ensure that the test cases are consistent, understandable and executable by testers other than the author

D    Developers review test cases written by testers in order to align their understanding of requirements with the testers’ and to align component testing with system testing

Q5: Scenario: Health InsuranceThe IT department of insurance company SecureLife has started a project IQ (Improved Quality) to implement a new health insurance application to make it possible to create online transactions for health insurance claims raised by employees and members of companies or associations havinghealth insurance agreements. In the new application it will be possible to make registration of all the information about the employees, their age, health conditions, etc. The project also has to fulfill the demands of the people doing insurance calculation, actuaries and the demands from public legislation.The project team for IQ have testers who are business users with lots of domain knowledge but without much formal test training.At the same time another project, HIPPOS (Health Insurance Product Public Order Sales), has been started by the marketing department of SecureLife with the purpose of launching a new Internet application that will allow potential buyers of health insurance to use a small calculator to calculate insurance premiums and possible bonus deductions based on age and different health parameters.This application will also allow individual customers to order Health Insurance Products online.The marketing tool and web page of project HIPPO will be developed and tested by SecureLife’s Agile development team, which has worked together for the last three years with the marketing department, developing marketing web applications. The Agile team consists of well trained testers anddevelopers. They have implemented test automation for configuration and regression testing and they have as part of their retrospectives built check lists of common defects and common security problems.As senior test analyst in SecureLife you have been asked to give input to the test strategy for the two projects, IQ and HIPPOS, regarding the level of detail and documentation required for test cases in the two projects.

Which TWO of the following are the BEST options for this strategy?

A    In project IQ the test cases should be written at a logical level. The testers are business users and they know their business rules and calculations so no need for detailed documentation.

B    In project IQ the test cases should be written at a concrete level with documented procedures and traceability to requirements.

C    In project HIPPOS the test cases should be written at a concrete level with documented procedures and audit trails.

D    In project HIPPOS the test cases should be written at a logical level allowing the testers flexibility in varying the details to achieve higher coverage.

E    In both project IQ and HIPPOS the test cases must be written as concrete test cases, with thorough documentation and detailed procedures.

F    In both project IQ and HIPPOS the test cases should be written as logical test cases, since we want to be as agile as possible and not spend time on documentation

Q6: Consider the following exit criterion: “All test cases must be reviewed and approved by representatives from the development and test team.”The project team has determined that this exit criterion is critical for keeping the project on schedule.

This exit criterion is from which test activity? How will meeting this criterion help keep the project on schedule?

A    Test Implementation; by ensuring the test team is creating the test cases that will target the correct areas with valid tests

B    Test Design; by ensuring the test team is executing the right tests in the right order

C    Test Design; by ensuring that the test team is creating the test cases that will target the correct areas with valid tests

D    Test Implementation; by ensuring the test team is executing the right tests in the right order
