A project to replace your company's sales and merchandising system has begun. The old system is still in production but is poorly documented and expensive to maintain: changing it has often produced a large quantity of defects. The new version will be developed using modern techniques and technology.
Requirements include:
* Loading sales data, sent electronically from the stores each evening, into a central database where it is then available for other applications.
* Producing sales reports for the merchandisers, whose job is to manage stock levels in stores.
* Predictions of future demand for each product, based on a combination of sales history and forecasting parameters.
Requirements 1 and 2 are satisfied by the existing system and will be rewritten with no significant changes.
Requirement 3 is new: these forecasting reports will be run overnight, and users will request them by entering simple parameters online during the day.
The sales data are loaded in an overnight batch run. There have been problems at peak periods when this run has taken longer than scheduled, so that dependent jobs could not finish before the start of the working day.
As a Technical Test Analyst, you have been asked to contribute to the project's Master Test Plan. The concerns expressed by stakeholders during risk identification include the length of the batch job runs, ease of parameter entry for the users, unauthorized access to stored sales data, and limited time for testing. With these in mind, which TWO of the following quality characteristics sub-characteristics are likely to contain the highest levels of technical risk?
A) Operability.
B) Time behavior.
C) Interoperability.
D) Security.
E) Testability.
When conducting a data flow analysis of following section of pseudo code:
Declare Function_Biggest integer (inputl integer. Input2 Integer) }
Declare output Integer
Set output = inputl
If input2 > output then
Set output = input2
Endif
Return output
}
Which of the variables utilized above has a potential anomalie?
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.
Which of the following is the appropriate test type to address this risk?
Which TWO of the following describe a function of some common web-based testing tools?
A) To generate HTML and XML that is compliant with industry standards such as W3C B) To provide information on the size of the web pages and on the time necessary to download them C) To scan and check that no broken or missing hyperlinks are present on a web site D) To allow applications to be tested by simulating a mobile platform's runtime environment E) To provide an engine that allows a user to execute a model describing a system's intended run-time behavior
Which of the following is a true statement regarding a continuous integration environment?
