NEW QUESTION # 18
For an ATM banking project the following applies: "When the user first inserts a valid credit card, the system considers the user to be in an unauthenticated state. When requesting a cash advance, the user must be in an authenticated state. The user authenticates by entering the correct PIN code for the card they have used.
During the user authentication, the system shall allow the user to enter their PIN code up to three times before failing the authentication and rejecting the card. On the first and second try, the system shall prompt the user to re-enter the PIN code "Suppose you are concerned that, depending on the number of invalid PIN codes entered, the system may behave incorrectly. Which of the following test design techniques is specifically targeted at finding such failures?
- A. Classification tree technique
- B. State transition testing using 1-switch coverage
- C. Pairwise testing
- D. Equivalence partitioning
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
State transition testing is a technique that models the behavior of a system as a finite number of states and the transitions between them. It is suitable for testing systems that have different outcomes depending on the previous history of inputs and events. In this case, the ATM system has different states depending on whether the user has entered a valid or invalid PIN code, and how many times they have tried. 1-switch coverage is a criterion that requires testing all possible pairs of transitions from one state to another. This can help to find failures that occur when the system changes from one state to another, or when the system does not change state when it should. For example, 1-switch coverage would test the following scenarios:
* User enters a valid PIN code on the first try and requests a cash advance (valid transition from unauthenticated to authenticated state)
* User enters an invalid PIN code on the first try and then a valid PIN code on the second try and requests a cash advance (valid transition from unauthenticated to authenticated state after one invalid attempt)
* User enters an invalid PIN code on the first and second try and then a valid PIN code on the third try and requests a cash advance (valid transition from unauthenticated to authenticated state after two invalid attempts)
* User enters an invalid PIN code on the first, second, and third try and the system rejects the card (valid transition from unauthenticated to rejected state after three invalid attempts)
* User enters a valid PIN code on the first try and then requests a cash advance twice (invalid transition from authenticated to authenticated state without inserting the card again)
* User enters a valid PIN code on the first try and then removes the card and inserts it again and requests a cash advance (invalid transition from authenticated to unauthenticated state without entering the PIN code again) References = ISTQB Advanced Level Test Analyst Syllabus 2019, section 3.2.3; How to Design Test Cases Using State Transition Testing Technique?; 0 and 1 - Switch Coverage in State Transition Testing?

NEW QUESTION # 21
How many cases are required to test the tax system specification as described below, using a decision table which is not collapsed?
Tax system
A 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 recalculated. If the person also has more than two and less than five children, an additional 10% reduction is applicable.
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 3
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
A decision table is a technique that shows the possible combinations of conditions and actions for a given problem. A decision table that is not collapsed has one test case for each combination of conditions, regardless of whether the actions are the same or different. The tax system specification has three conditions: salary less than €20,000, married, and number of children between three and four. Each condition has two possible values: true or false. Therefore, the number of test cases for a non-collapsed decision table is 2^3 = 8.

NEW QUESTION # 22
You have been given a user story for an ATM application and have been reviewing it. The following are two of the acceptance criteria:
AC 1: The account balance must be displayed to the user as fast as possible to ensure they do not leave during the transaction.
AC 2: The user must log in easily before they can display their balance From the information provided here and by applying the review checklist in the syllabus, what is the major problem with the acceptance criteria?
- A. The acceptance criteria are not testable
- B. The story is not independent from other stories
- C. The feature is not clearly defined
- D. The acceptance criteria are not prioritized
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
The correct answer isB.The acceptance criteria are not testable.
The acceptance criteria are not testable
The acceptance criteria are not testable because they are vague and subjective. They do not specify any measurable or observable outcomes or conditions that can be verified by the test analyst.For example, what does "as fast as possible" or "easily" mean in terms of performance and usability? How can the test analyst determine if the user does not leave during the transaction or if they log in easily? The acceptance criteria should be rewritten to include clear and quantifiable criteria, such as response time, error rate, user satisfaction, etc1.

- D. 9:29 am, 5 01 pm, 7:30 pm, 7:31 pm, 8:00 pm
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Equivalence partitioning is a technique that divides the input domain into classes of data that are expected to behave similarly. The test sets should cover one value from each equivalence class, as well as the boundary values between them. The equivalence classes for the metro fare system are:
* Before 9:30 am (full fare)
* Between 9:30 am and 5:00 pm (saver ticket)
* Between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm (full fare)
* After 7:00 pm (saver ticket)
The boundary values are 9:30 am, 5:00 pm, and 7:00 pm. Therefore, the test set that provides the best equivalence partitioning coverage is the one that includes one value from each equivalence class and the boundary values, which is option D. References =

NEW QUESTION # 38
You have been given a test charter to conduct exploratory testing for accepting credit and debit cards for an e-commerce system. You started with the credit cards and you have found that, valid or invalid, they are never accepted. You have logged this as a defect. What should you do now?
- A. Enter your exploratory test cases with detailed test steps into the Test Management System
- B. Continue the session and conduct the testing for debit cards
- C. Automate the testing for the credit card exploratory tests so they can be used for confirmation testing after the defect is fixed.
- D. Close the session and start a new session with a new charter
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The correct answer isD.Automate the testing for the credit card exploratory tests so they can be used for confirmation testing after the defect is fixed.
A).Enter your exploratory test cases with detailed test steps into the Test Management System This is incorrect because entering the test cases into the Test Management System is not enough to document and track the exploratory testing process. The test cases should also include the expected results, actual results, and defects found during the testing. Moreover, the test cases should be organized into a clear and logical structure that reflects the test charter and scope.
B).Close the session and start a new session with a new charter
This is incorrect because closing and starting a new session with a new charter would mean losing all the information and data collected during the previous session. This would make it difficult to resume and continue the testing process from where it left off. Instead, it would be better to use a consistent and stable session with a single charter that covers all the requirements and features of the system.
C).Continue the session and conduct the testing for debit cards
This is incorrect because continuing the session and conducting only one type of card (debit) would not provide a comprehensive coverage of all possible scenarios and outcomes of accepting credit cards. It would also limit the scope of testing to only one aspect of payment processing, which may not reflect all the business rules, validations, exceptions, or integrations involved in this domain.
D).Automate the testing for the credit card exploratory tests so they can be used for confirmation testing after the defect is fixed This is correct because automating some or all of the exploratory tests can help to save time, effort, and resources by reducing manual effort and increasing efficiency. It can also help to improve accuracy, consistency, and reliability by eliminating human errors and biases. Moreover, automating some or all of the exploratory tests can enable them to be reused for confirmation testing after fixing any defects found during exploratory testing.Confirmation testing is a type of functional testing that verifies that all requirements are met by performing regression tests on previously tested functionality1.
