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 would form part of the entry criteria into unit testing (which will be followed by integration testing)?

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

II . Signed-off program specification.

III . Signed-off technical specification.

IV . 100 per cent program specification coverage.

V . Compiled code.

A local council employs its own IT staff; there are 40, most of whom have been with the council for over 10 years. The council uses the Agile development methodology. Each project has between five and nine team members, all of whom work very closely together. At the start of each iteration, the requirements are loosely defined. These are then built, tested and refined. The IT Department has been asked to upgrade the council website to include:

# Information on recycling targets;

# Amounts recycled per month; and

# Energy usage in the recycling effort.

The project will be undertaken in three iterations, one for each requirement defined above.

Which two of the following methods of test estimation would be most appropriate in this situation?

I . Making use of a work breakdown structure.

II . Taking 30 per cent of the total iteration time.

III . Calculating the time required using test point analysis.

IV . Gaining consensus from the team.

Software Testers in a software development company installed the new release on test systems and started the testing phase. Testers verified the new functionality, performed necessary security testing and completed planned regression tests. During the last week of testing, testers noticed that the memory utilization was more than 95% on two of the test servers (out of 4 servers). This behavior was not observed during the first weeks of the testing phase. As a test analyst, what would you do?

Ignore the problem because other two servers are okay (memory utilization is normal)

Report the problem to the developer immediately and create a defect report because it could be a problem related to memory leak.

Question 39

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?
