You are working on a project to replace an old sales and merchandising system with a new system that will be based on modern platforms. The old system is still in production but is poorly documented and expensive to maintain. The new version will be developed using modern technology. The main requirements for the system are that it shall:
* Load sales data, sent electronically from the stores each evening, into a central database.
* Produce actual sales reports for the merchandisers, whose job is to manage stock levels in stores.
* Produce sales forecast reports, based on a combination of sales history and forecasting parameters. The parameters will be entered by the merchandisers into a browser-based front end and the reports will be produced overnight. The users will be able to see the reports next day, on screen or in print, by requesting this through the browser.
Requirements 1 and 2 are satisfied by the existing system and will be rewritten with no significant functional changes. Requirement 3 is new and has been clearly specified. Because of the poor test basis you have decided to perform experience-based functional correctness testing for requirements 1 and 2 with the support of checklists. Which would be the BEST items to include in the checklist for testing Requirement 2?
a) Does the sales quantity in the database for any one product in a particular store, equal the sales data input for that product / store?
b) Does the total sales value in the report for all products in a particular store, equal the sales data input for that store?
c) Does the sales quantity in the report for any one product in a particular store, equal the sales data input for that product / store?
d) Does successful login allow access to the report parameter entry features?
e) Does the total sales value in the database for all products in a particular store, equal the sales data input for that store?

• A. b) and d)
• B. d) and e)
• C. a) and c)
• D. b) and c)

A Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system will be developed for a company that runs a chain of hotels. These are some of the requirements relating to staff in the call center.
* R1. High. An operator shall be able to find and see the details of a customer's booking. The data that may be used for the search include customer name, customer registration number (in the company's loyalty enrolment scheme) and booking reference.
* R2. High. An operator shall be able to amend a customer's booking. The data that may be amended include check-in and check-out dates, hotel, room type and tariff (with / without breakfast).
* R3. High. Before a booking amendment is accepted, the system shall display to the operator any difference in price with respect to the original booking. The operator shall confirm that the customer accepts the revised price and then the system shall record the accepted amendment.
* R4. Medium. Details of the amended booking shall be sent to the customer (see requirements for original customer booking for details).
* R5. High. Details of the extra amount payable shall be sent to the billing system for customer invoicing (see requirements for invoicing of the original customer booking for details).
You have been asked to review these requirements using this checklist:
* Specific - does each requirement deal with only a single aspect of the solution?
* Clear - is each requirement expressed in an unambiguous way with no possibility of interpretation or uncertainty about its meaning?
* Complete - does the set of requirements cover all of the stakeholders' reasonable needs?
* Unique - does each requirement address something that no other requirement also covers?
Assume that the other requirements referred to by R4 and R5 have been reviewed with a satisfactory outcome.
Considering these five requirements, to which checklist items would you answer 'No'?

• A. 1 and 2
• B. 2 and 3
• C. 3 and 4
• D. 1 and 4

Requirements 1 and 2 are satisfied by the existing system and will be rewritten with no significant changes.
Requirement 3 is new and has been clearly specified.
The entry of forecasting parameters and of requests to see the reports will be low volume, but the Merchandising Manager is concerned about usability because the forecasting parameters are complex.
Which test charter would be BEST for the initial exploratory testing of requirement 3?

• A. Explore the actual sales report production features With examples of the current reports To discover any adverse impact of requirement 3 on requirement 2
• B. Explore the forecasting parameter entry features With their requirements specification To discover any performance issues
• C. Explore the forecasting parameter entry features With their requirements specification To discover any usability issues
• D. Explore the report request entry features With their requirements specification To discover any usability issues

You are testing the functional correctness of an application which generates quotes for motor insurance. The amount of the quote is governed by a combination of the following factors:
* Type of Cover, can be: comprehensive, third party damage only, or third party damage + fire and theft
* Vehicle Engine Size, can be: < 1500cc, < 2000cc, < 2500cc, > =2500cc
* Driving Licence Type, can be: fully qualified, or student driver
* Vehicle Storage Type, can be: locked garage, or unlocked private place, or public place
* Time Since Last Claim, can be: < 1year, < 2yrs, < 3yrs, > =3yrs
In order to achieve full PAIRWISE coverage, how many combinations must be tested?

• A. 36
• B. 288
• C. 12
• D. 16

The following use case diagram shows the process of raising a Purchase Request (PR) and getting it authorized. Details are entered in batches; any that fail validation will be rejected and must be re-entered. The details will indicate whether the request is a normal one or an emergency one. Normal requests must be authorized by the department manager, who may refuse to do so. Emergency requests will be automatically authorized and reported to the manager.

The test strategy states that:
* all combinations of extensions and exceptions, as well as the main scenario, shall be tested
* loops shall get simple loop coverage where the maximum number of iterations for validation exceptions is 3 and the typical number is 2.
What is the minimum quantity of test cases that will be needed to obtain this coverage?

• A. 6
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 7
