Analyzing the requirement, "The system shall allow cash advances of at least 200 Euros for all supported credit cards. The correct list of credit cards is American Express, Diners, VISA, Mastercard and Eurocard." There are arguments to be made for several test design techniques. Which of the following test design techniques is LEAST likely to be used for identfying test cases for the requirement? [K4] 3 credits

A. Boundary value analysis

B. Equivalence Parttoning

C. Classifcaton Tree Method

D. State Transiton Testng

For an ATM banking project introduced earlier, "When the user frst inserts a valid credit card type, the system considers the user to be in an unauthentcated state. When requestng a cash advance, the user must be in an authentcated state. The user authentcates by entering the proper PIN code. When authentcatng the user, the system shall allow the user to enter their PIN code up to three tmes before failing the authentcaton and rejectng the card. On the frst and second try, the system shall prompt the user to re-enter the PIN code."

Ken, an entrepreneur in Leeds fnds the quality of the tea locally available 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 market strategy is to ofer superior products on a well-designed website with graphics that are fast to load, has high availability, superior usability and fast response tmes. The website will ofer the following:

-An innovatve interactve catalogue of teas, which not only enables customers to buy the product, but also enables them to provide feedback by ratng the teas (which will infuence his stock purchasing levels)

-

Provide the customer with the ability to use secure credit card transactons

-

Provide the customer to give general feedback Ken selects an iteratve model for the development of the prototypes. The team consists of three developers that are experienced in web development. Ken, although he doesn't have technical skillset, is concerned with quality. He doesn't believe a lot of documentaton is necessary and he wants the website to be completed quickly. The test basis contains the following:

-Story boards that show the informaton fow and page links through the site

-HTML pages developed to date.

-

A statement of non-functonal requirements. With the strategy taking shape, Ken asks your advice on the specifc testng techniques that should be used to complete the required testng, bearing in mind the nature of the applicaton and the nature of Ken's overall objectves. How does phase containment contribute to reducing the cost of development? [K2] 1 credit

A.

By eliminatng defects as early as possible to minimize defect propagaton

B.

By ensuring that the deliverables from any life cycle phase are tested only in that phase

C.

By using specifc test techniques at each level and only at that level

D.

By concentratng the testng efort on the phases where failures occur

A. Expected results

B. Steps to reproduce the defect

C. Test data used to identfy the fault

D. Level of load on the system at the tme of failure
