Which of the following is true about safety critical systems?

According to the ISTQB syllabus, major ways to handle risks are:

I . Mitigate the risk through preventive measures.

II . Make contingency plans to reduce impact if risk occurs.

III . Transfer the risk to someone else to handle.

IV . Ignore and accept the risk.

According to ISTQB syllabus, characteristics of systems of systems are;

I . Long duration of projects

II . Multiple levels of integration

III . Need for Maintenance Testing

IV . No formal development lifecycle or milestones.

Use the following code;

x=1

y=2

z=3

If (x = = 2)

{

print "Hi There !";

}

else

{

print "Good bye";

}

z=x + y;

if (z ==4)

{

print "Welcome Back!";

}

else

{

print "Thank you";

}

How many test cases at minimum are required to test branch / decision coverage?

Select the correct statement;

A software company developed a software application for a Life Insurance Company. The testers of the software company were given the release to test. The software application calculates the annual life insurance cost based on customers' age. Life insurance cost is as follows per year;

# Age 18 or less: US $ 300

# Age over 18 or less than 70: US $ 500

# Person has to be at least 1 year old to purchase insurance

If a customer enters any other age, the software prints an error message. The Application accepts only positive integer values (no decimals). Given above scenario, how many valid test cases at minimum can you derive using equivalence partitioning?

Which of the statements are true about test cases?

I . All test cases should be automated

II . Test cases should be repeatable

III . Test cases should be traceable back to requirements

IV . Test cases should have expected results

Select the correct statement;

I . Comparing actual progress against the plan is part of Test Controlling activity.

II . Updating the test plan if needed is part of test controlling activity.

Ill. Prioritization criteria identified during risk analysis should be applied only during test execution.

IV . Test conditions are identified by analyzing the test basis and test objectives.

Which of the following statements are true?

I . Test automation tools can be used only for one project.

II . Test data comparison tool can be used to avoid human data comparison mistakes.

III . A company can utilize multiple test tools to efficiently perform their test activities.

IV . Purchasing suite of test tools from the same vendor guarantees that the tools will work together.
