There are multiple activities the Technical Test Analyst performs regarding test automation.
Which of the following activities is a typical test automation activity that the Technical Test Analyst will perform?
- A . Define the business process keywords and related actions.
- B . Execute the test cases and analyze any failures that may occur.
- C . Train the Test Analyst and Business Analyst to use and supply data for the test scripts.
- D . Decide regarding a test automation project based on a business case.
Consider the pseudo code provided below:
Which of the following options provides a set of test cases that achieves 100% decision coverage for this code fragment, with the minimum number of test cases?
Assume that in the options, each of the three numbers in parenthesis represent the inputs for a test case, where the first number represents variable “a”, the second number represents variable “b”, and the third number represents variable “c”.
- A . (5. 3,2)
- B . (5. 3, 2); (6, 4, 2); (5, 4, 0)
- C . (5. 4, 0); (3, 2, 5); (4, 5, 0)
- D . (4,5. 0); {5, 4, 5)
Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding tools that support component testing and the build process?
- A . Both are used to examine source code before a program is executed. This is done by analysing a section of code against a set (or multiple sets) of coding rules.
- B . Both are used to reduce the costs of test environments by replacing real devices.
- C . Both provide run-time information on the state of the software code, e.g., unassigned pointers and the use and de-allocation of memory.
- D . Both provide an environment for unit testing in which a component can be tested in isolation with suitable stubs and drivers.
Below is the pseudo-code for the bingo program:
The bingo program contains a data flow anomaly.
Which data flow anomaly can be found in this program?
- A . Variable "MIN" is not assigned a value before using it.
- B . Variable "AB is defined but subsequently not used.
- C . An invalid value is assigned to variable "B".
- D . The hard-coded value ‘2" should not be used.
Subject to testing is a software system (COTS) for Project Administration and Control (PACS). PACS is a multi-project system for controlling the project time, e.g., in terms of scheduling and tracking, and managing the productivity of projects, e.g., in terms of effort and deliverables.
During various interviews with stakeholders the following information was gathered:
• Using PACS is not business critical. There is no impact such as high financial losses or problems to the operational continuity of an organization. Its application is not critical since the software package does not support directly the operational, or the primary, business processes of an organization. It supports (project) management in the project planning and tracking process. Of course, it will be highly annoying for users if the system “goes down” from time to time. Although this does not have a high impact for the business process as a whole, the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) still needs to be at a good level to be successful in the market.
• Users of PACS typically have an academic educational level, but have no prior experience with this particular type of project management software. The system will be used by a large number of users within an organization.
• The system will be used on a regular basis, e.g., several times per day by project managers and several times per week by project employees. This means that the system will not be used very intensively, often only for some data input or an information request. Its usage is not considered to be very time-critical.
• The data is recorded on-line and real-time. The system is expected to run in multiple hardware environments in various network environments. It is also expected that changes in the operational environments will happen in the upcoming period that also need to be supported.
Based on the information provided by the stakeholder, which combination of non-functional quality characteristics should you propose to test as part of your test approach?
- A . Reliability and Portability
- B . Security and Reliability
- C . Performance efficiency and Portability
- D . Reliability and Performance efficiency
Which of the following is a generic risk factor that should be considered by a Technical Test Analyst during a product risk analysis?
- A . Frequency of use of the affected feature by end-users.
- B . Complexity of new technology.
- C . Visibility of failure leading to negative publicity and potential image damage.
- D . High change rate of business requirements.
You are working on project where re-use of software is an objective. You are involved in the project as a Technical Test Analyst and have been given the task to develop a checklist for code reviews.
Which question from the list below should you implement as part of the code review checklist?
- A . Are all modules, data, and interfaces uniquely identified?
- B . Can each item be implemented with the techniques, tools, and resources available?
- C . Is it possible during acceptance testing to verity whether the item has been satisfied?
- D . Are all variables defined with meaningful, consistent and clear names?
Consider the pseudo code provided below:
Given the following tests, what additional test(s) (if any) would be needed in order to achieve 100% statement coverage, with the minimum number of tests?
Test 1: A = 7, B = 7, Expected output: 7
Test 2: A = 7, B = 5, Expected output: 5
- A . A=6, B=12, Expected output: Bingo! and A=7, B=9, Expected output: 7
- B . A=6, B=12, Expected output: Bingo!
- C . A=7, B=9, Expected output: 7
- D . No additional test cases are needed to achieve 100% statement coverage.
You are asked to provide a practical and pragmatic testing solution for a commercial system where the main user interface is via the Internet. It is critical that the company’s existing good name and market profile are not damaged in any way. Time to market is not a critical issue when appropriate testing solutions are identified to mitigate business risks.
A product risk assessment has revealed the following product risk:
• Abnormal application termination due to connection failure of the main interface.

- A . Performance efficiency testing
- B . Portability testing
- C . Reliability testing
- D . Operability testing
