You are involved in testing a system in the medical domain. Testing needs to comply with the FDA requirements and is rated as being safety critical. A product risk assessment has been performed and various mitigation actions have been identified. Reliability testing is one of the test types that needs to be performed throughout the development lifecycle.

Based on the information provided, which of the following activities would need to be addressed in the test plan?

The following characteristics were identified during an early product risk-assessment for a software system:

• the software system needs to manage synchronization between various processes

• microcontrollers will be used that will limit product performance

• the hardware that will be used will make use of timeslots

• the number of tasks supported in parallel by the software system is large and are often highly complex.

Based on the information provided, which of the following non-functional test types is MOST appropriate to be performed?

A major Caribbean bank typically develops their own banking software using an Agile methodology. However, for some specific components COTS software is acquired and used. The bank does not want to create a dependency on any external COTS supplier.

As part of the test approach, portability testing will be performed.

Which portability sub-characteristic is especially relevant for the Caribbean bank?

Within the world of consumer electronics, the amount of embedded software is growing rapidly. The amount of software in high-end television sets has increased by a factor of about eight over the last six years. In addition, the market of consumer electronics has been faced with a 5 -10% price erosion per year. The price of a product is, among a number of other things, determined by the microcontroller used. Therefore, the use of ROM and RAM remains under high pressure in consumer electronic products, leading to severe restrictions on code size.

Within a new high-end TV project, it has been decided to apply dynamic analysis.

Which of the quality goals listed below is MOST appropriate to the project context?

If the customer has sufficient funds in their account

OR the customer has the credit granted

THEN the ATM machine pays out the requested amount to the customer
