Scenario "Tax system"

The tax system needs to be updated due to new legislation. For a person with a salary of less than € 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. A SUMI test has been performed on the user-interface of the tax system. The resulting SUMI graph is presented below: Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

  1. The SUMI scores are above market average
  2. The SUMI scores show a positive result regarding user-satisfaction
  3. The standard deviation of all SUMI scales is much too large
  4. Especially the SUMI score regarding Affect is high which will ease the deployment process

Answer(s): C



Which of the following is a typical defect that boundary value analysis would identify?

  1. Improper handling of sequences of events
  2. Improper handling of combinations of conditions
  3. Improper handling of large and small values
  4. Improve handling of classes of inputs

Answer(s): C



The use of exploratory testing is also being considered.
Which of the following practices is NOT part of exploratory testing?

  1. Writing test charters
  2. Holding debriefing meetings
  3. Writing detailed test procedures
  4. Working in pairs

Answer(s): C



Which of the following fits the principles of experience-based testing?

  1. Coverage calculations can be used to determine the amount of testing required
  2. Different people will have a different experience level regarding usability testing
  3. Models can be used to derive the required test cases
  4. Experience in test execution is more important than experience in test design

Answer(s): D



When preparing for an exploratory test, which of the following sets of artefacts would be the most appropriate to produce?

  1. Charter outlining tasks (tests) to be performed and objectives to be met, plus a set of heuristics to follow
  2. Charter outlining tasks (tests) to be performed and objectives to be met, plus a set of heuristics to follow and the completed session sheets
  3. Charter outlining tasks (tests) to be performed and objectives to be met, plus a set of defect types to be targeted and a list of new issues encountered
  4. Charter outlining objectives to be met, plus a set of heuristics to follow

Answer(s): A



To enhance the test design phase the purchase of a test design tool is being considered.
Which statement characterises best a test design tool?

  1. It validates models of the software
  2. It enables tests to be executed automatically
  3. It enables individual tests to be traced to requirements
  4. It generates test inputs or executable tests from requirements

Answer(s): D



Which of the following is an important principle for using experienced-based test techniques?

  1. Tester skill is a critical factor in assigning test execution tasks
  2. Tester skills are less important than ensuring 100% test utilisation
  3. Testers should always focus on defect-prevention activities
  4. Testers should be evaluated based on the number of defects they find

Answer(s): A



It is possible that the test execution phase will be shortened and that test cases will need to be prioritised.
What is the main reason to prioritise the test cases?

  1. Get the areas the programmer is most worried about finished first
  2. Get finished within the time and budget available
  3. Ensure that when you stop you have done the best tests in the time available
  4. To ensure as many tests as possible are run
