QUESTION: 33

You are testing an application that will allow users to scan the bar code from a package mailing label and then receive emails from the package shipper as the package moves through the various stages of its delivery (e.g., pickup, receipt at central processing, routing, delivery). If requested, the user can also receive a picture of the signature of the recipient of the package. This is a web browser-based application. It is expected that this application will have wide usage across a large set of devices and networks with varying speeds and reliability.
Your company has several competitors who are working on similar products although your company's product has some new innovations and a very attractive user interface. As a result, once it is released, your company expects to grab that majority market share. Given this information, what would be the best approach for doing your testing to ensure the capabilities of the product are tested as well as the range of environments and networks?

Use a remote device lab that is provided by a device manufacturer to ensure your application works across the whole family of devices.
Use crowd sourcing to get the widest distribution of device locations and types with minimal cost.
Use a set of simulators that can simulate the various capabilities of a wide variety of devices.
Use a cloud-based virtual test environment to simulate various devices and networks.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

D is correct. The cloud solution would be the best for this case as it would allow many different devices to be simulated across a number of different types of networks with varying speeds. A is not correct because this is a browser-based application so testing across an entire device family is not warranted. B is not correct because this is a product with competitors and the innovative technology should not be known in the market before the product is released. C is not correct because simulators will not give the network type and speed variance needed.

QUESTION: 34

You are testing an application that will allow users to scan the bar code from a package mailing label and then receive emails from the package shipper as the package moves through the various stages of its delivery (e.g., pickup, receipt at central processing, routing, delivery). If requested, the user can also receive a picture of the signature of the recipient of the package. This is the second version of this application. The first version was web browser-based and was quite slow to start up. The new version is a native application with all the same functionality. It is expected that this application will have wide usage across a large set of networks with varying speeds and reliability.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A is correct. Because this is a native application, it needs to be tested on the devices that it is intended for. The question doesn't say how many different devices are supported, but for each supported device it makes sense to use the remote device lab that device manufacturers can supply. B is not correct because the focus needs to be on the device compatibility rather than the location distribution. C is not correct because a wide variety of devices is not needed. A good simulator for the family of devices supported might be a good alternative though. D is not correct because the testing across devices is not needed. Like C if D provides a good simulator of the right device family, it might be a realistic alternative, but that information is not supplied.

QUESTION: 35

In the future, what is the expectation for device capabilities?

They will decrease as devices get smaller
They will increase as demand increases
They will stay the same
They will stay about the same but expand across a greater range of devices

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

B is correct. Capabilities are expected to grow and will also expand across more devices and new devices.

QUESTION: 36

When building a flexible testing framework, how does the short product life cycle affect the test approach and tool decisions?

The framework must support long0term maintainability
The framework should utilize stable and reliable tools known vendors
The framework must provide a good ROI
The framework should leverage a formal risk analysis

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

C is correct per the syllabus. A is probably not a goal since products come and go and long-term maintainability of the test framework may be a poor investment. B is not correct because known vendors may not produce tools that support the latest technologies. D is not correct because a lightweight risk analysis is more likely used than a formal risk analysis process.
