Innovative software solutions have adopted a new way of testing their software. Testers set up the test environment, scan the software and look for problems for about 3 hours every week on Mondays and Wednesdays (in addition to their normal test activities). They create a session sheet and record testers name, date and time started, issues found, task breakdown and defects found at the end. Then the test manager holds a meeting with the testers and reviews the session sheet.

Manager asks the testers for their outlook, results, what happened during the testing and their feelings about past 3 hours. What type of testing activity is described above?

A development house (DH) uses the V model for its projects. It delivers systems to the energy industry. In response to consumer demands, DH has been asked to create an online system for consumers to switch energy suppliers easily. There are already offerings in the marketplace for this service, but DH thinks it can provide a service which is easier to use. It will request more detailed information on homes and occupant lifestyles in order to accurately predict likely bills per quarter, and will update users if a cheaper tariff becomes available. For this new service, the specifications have been defined, code has been created, and system testing is about to start.

Which of the following could form part of the entry criteria into system testing?

I . 100 per cent decision coverage of all tariff calculations.

II . 100 per cent functional specification coverage of all household types.

III . Outstanding defects at integration testing highlighted.

IV . Test summary report for system testing produced.

V . Business requirements signed off.
