A financial institution is to implement a system that calculates the interest rates paid on investment accounts based on the sum invested. You are responsible for testing the system and decide to use equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis to design test cases. The requirements describe the following expectations: Investment range | Interest rate R500 to RIO 000 10% RIO 001 to R50 000 11% R50 001 to RlOOOOO 12% RIOOOOl to R500 000 | 13% What is the minimum number of test cases required to cover all valid equivalence partitions for calculating the interest?

Consider a review for a high-level architectural document written by a software architect. The architect does most of the review preparation work, including distributing the document to reviewers before the review meeting. However, reviewers are not required to analyze the document in advance, and during the review meeting the software architect explains the document step by step. The only goal of this review is to establish a common understanding of the software architecture that will be used in a software development project. Which of the following review types does this review refer to?

Which of the following is an example of the absence-of-errors fallacy?

A.
Repeating the same test cases will continue to find new defects, even after dozens of executions
Answers
A.
Repeating the same test cases will continue to find new defects, even after dozens of executions
B.
A small number of modules contains the most defects
Answers
B.
A small number of modules contains the most defects
C.
Since testing found very few defects, the system certainly will be successful
Answers
C.
Since testing found very few defects, the system certainly will be successful
D.
Other than trivial cases, it is not feasible to test all combinations of inputs and preconditions
Answers
D.
Other than trivial cases, it is not feasible to test all combinations of inputs and preconditions
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

The absence-of-errors fallacy, as explained in the ISTQB syllabus, is the erroneous belief that having fewer defects found in testing equates to a system being more successful upon release. This misconception can lead stakeholders to undervalue thorough testing. Answer C illustrates this fallacy perfectly: assuming that because few defects were found, the system will be successful, neglects the many other factors that contribute to system success, including user satisfaction and fit-for-purpose.

Reference: ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level Syllabus v4.0, Section 1.1.5 'Absence-of-errors fallacy'.
