Ken finds the quality of the tea locally available to be so low, that he decides to research superior teas around the world. He decides to market, sell and distribute these superior teas via the web. His marketing strategy is to offer superior products on a well-designed website that has fast loading graphics, high availability, superior usability and fast response times. The website will offer the following:
- An innovative interactive catalogue of teas, which not only enables customers to buy the product, but also enables them to provide feedback by rating the teas (which will influence his stock purchasing levels).
- Provide the customer with the ability to use secure credit card transactions.
- Provide the customer with the ability to give general feedback.
Ken selects an iterative model for the development of the prototypes. The team consists of three developers who are experienced in web development Ken, although he doesn't have a technical skillset, is concerned with quality. He doesn't believe a lot of documentation is necessary and he wants the website to be completed quickly. The test basis contains the following:
- Story boards that show the information flow and page links through the site.
- HTML pages developed to date
- A set of non-functional requirements.
With the strategy taking shape, it is decided that exploratory testing should be used to complete the required testing, bearing in mind the nature of the application and the nature of Ken's overall objectives. You have now been given the task of identifying the exploratory tests, which will be executed as test sessions.
Which of the options below state what you will typically use for identifying the exploratory tests?
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.
An airline provides self-service check-in kiosks for its passengers. The user is asked to present the passport for reading, enter the flight booking number, the seats requested, the number of bags to check-in, and acknowledge that security requirements have been met. The machine then prints the boarding passes.
The following use case has been created:
USE CASE: SELF-SERVICE CHECK-IN
Use case ID:UC23
Purpose:Passenger checks-in using the self-service kiosk application.
Actors:Passenger, System
Pre-conditions:User selects to start self-service check-in at the kiosk and the system asks the user to place the passport on the reader.
You are to apply the Use Case test technique, where the following coverage rules have been defined in the test plan:
One test case should be designed for the basic behavior.
One test case should be designed for each alternate and error-handling behavior.
Applying these rules to the Self-Service Check-In Use Case, how many test cases should be designed?

You work for a company that is a pioneer in smart energy technology. One of their core products is their energy monitor in-home display device, used to display current and historic energy consumption data to many thousands of customers. It has been designed to integrate with their other smart-home products, including domestic lighting control systems via their HomeHub.
The company is to launch a new application for smartphones and tablets that will allow its customers to view their energy readings remotely and to view their daily budget usage based on seasonal historic data. The application must also support customers with disabilities.
The following requirement specification has been written and you are reviewing it:
Description:
The customer's daily gas, electricity, and usage figures must be accurately displayed
The customer’s weekly gas, electricity, and usage figures must be accurately displayed
The monthly gas, electricity, and usage figures must be accurately displayed
The customer's annual gas, electricity, and usage figures must be accurately displayed
The customer should be able to change between displaying gas only, electricity only, or both energy types
The retrieval time for the customer's energy data must be less than 2 seconds from the opening of the application
The screen design must be visually attractive and easy to operate for the customer
You are using the following review checklist:
Is each requirement testable?
Does each requirement have acceptance criteria listed?
Is a use case calling structure available (if applicable)?
Are the requirements uniquely identified?
Is the specification versioned?
Is there traceability visible from each requirement to the business/marketing requirements?
Is there traceability between the requirements and the use cases (if applicable)?
Based on this checklist, which items are NOT met and will fail review?
