Which type of test technique is most useful in this situation?
What are ways in which classification trees support the application of pairwise testing?
a. They help to identify inputs to be used by the pairwise test technique
b. They show the combinations needed to cover all-pairs
c. They help to identify particular combinations of interest
d. They show both typical and atypical behavior
e. They show the expected results for the various test cases
You've created a checklist for an upcoming requirements/use case review. You have included validating the testability of each requirement, and establishing acceptance criteria for each requirement.
You've ensured that each requirement and use case has a unique identifier that complies with company policy. What else should you add to the checklist?
Based on the tax system specification as described below, using boundary value analysis, which would be the best test set to explicitly test on single boundary value fully?
Tax system
A tax system needs to be updated due to new legislation. For a person with a salary of less than € 20 000 and who is married, the tax needs to be recalculated.
If a person has at least three and less than six children, an additional 10% reduction is applicable.
You are testing the processing of a critical traffic control system to which various regulations apply The processing of the input variables is dependent
on defined ranges within which the actual retrieved data values can lie.
Which of the following black-box test techniques should you use to test the processing functionality of this system?
A car navigation system needs to be integrated in the overall car software It is important to verify that the car navigation is functioning correctly once integrated. Thus functional correctness is considered to be important.
Which of the following techniques is most likely to support the required functional correctness testing?
Based on the classification tree shown below, using the pairwise testing technique how many test cases are required to test all pairs?
Consider the following use case for a "pick your dog" application called "Shelter Search".
1. The user enters his zip code
2. The user enters his breed choice
3. The system displays the list of shelters within a 30 mile radius of the user's zip code which have the selected breed
4. The user selects a shelter
5. The system displays the available appointment times for the next seven days
6. The user selects an appointment time

9. The system confirms the user's appointment
Alternate Paths:
1a. The user cancels out
2a. The user doesn't find their choice
2b. The user enters their breed choice in the "other" text field
3a. No shelters are found with the selected breed
3b The user is prompted to enter a larger search radius
4a. The user cancels out
5a. There are no appointments available in the next seven days
5b. The user is asked if they want to search the next 30 days
6a. The user cancels out
7a. The system cannot record the appointment
7b. The system displays an error
8a. The system cannot display the address
8b. The system displays an error
How many test cases will be needed to achieve minimum coverage of this use case?
