Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding the involvement of testers in the software development lifecycle (SDLC)?

• A.Testers should contribute to all activities in the SDLC and participate in design discussions.
• B.Testers should be involved from the beginning of the SDLC to increase understanding of design decisions and detect defects early.
• C.Testers should only be involved during the testing phase.
• D.Testers' involvement is essential; developers find it difficult to be objective.

Consider an estimation session in which a six-member Agile team (Memb1..... Memb6) uses the planning poker technique to estimate a user story (in story points). The team members will use a set of cards with the following values: 1,2, 3,5, 8,13,21. Below is the outcome of the first round of estimation for this session:

Which of the following answers BEST describes how the estimation session should proceed?

• A.The final estimate of the user story in story points is determined by applying the three-point estimation technique with the following input values most optimistic estimate - 1, most likely estimate - 3, and most pessimistic estimate - 21
• B.Further estimation rounds should be performed until all team members will pick the card having the same value: this value will represent the final estimate of the user story in story points.
• C.The final estimate of the user story in story points is determined by calculating the average value between the most optimistic estimate of 21 story points (Memb4> and the most pessimistic estimate of 1 story point (Memb6)
• D.Memb6 and Memb4 which have produced the most pessimistic and the most optimistic estimates respectively, should explain the reasons of their choices to stimulate a discussion between all members before proceeding to another estimation round

The following rules determine the annual bonus to be paid to a salesman of a company based on the total annual amount of the sales made (referred to as TAS).
If the TAS is between 50k€ and 80k€, the bonus is 10%. If the TAS exceeds 80k€ by a value not greater than 40k€, the bonus is 15%. Finally, if the TAS exceeds the maximum threshold which entitles to a 15% bonus, the bonus is 22%.
Consider applying equivalence partitioning to the TAS (Note: 1k€ = 1000 euros).
Which one of the following answers contain only test cases that belong to the same equivalence partition?

• A.TC1 = 81 k€; TC2= 97k€; TC3=111k€; TC4=118k€
• B.TC1 = 40k€; TC2= 46k€; TC3=51k€; TC4=53k€
• C.TC1 = 79k€; TC2= 80k€; TC3=81k€; TC4=82k€
• D.TC1 = 90k€; TC2= 110k€; TC3=125k€: TC4=140k€

Exploratory testing is an experience-based test technique

• A.Where a developer and a tester work together on the same workstation while the developer actively writes code, the tester explores the code to find defects.
• B.That can be organised into sessions guided by test charters outlining test objectives that will guide the testers' exploration
• C.Where a team of testers explores all possible test techniques in order to determine the most suitable combination of these techniques to apply for a test project.
• D.That aims at finding defects by designing tests that exercise all possible combinations of input values and preconditions

Which of the following statements about white-box test techniques is true?

• A.Achieving full statement coverage and full branch coverage for a software product means that such software product has been fully tested and there are no remaining bugs within the code
• B.Code-related white-box test techniques are not required to measure the actual code coverage achieved by black-box testing, as code coverage can be measured using the coverage criteria associated with black-box test techniques
• C.Branch coverage is the most thorough code-related white-box test technique, and therefore applicable standards prescribe achieving full branch coverage at the highest safety levels for safety-critical systems
• D.Code-related white-box test techniques provide an objective measure of coverage and can be used to complement black-box test techniques to increase confidence in the code
