Correct Answers of earlier Q. 181 to 190 are at the end of this page:
Q. 191: You are doing compatibility testing of a browser-based application. On the client side, it runs on three operating systems: Windows 2000 (W2K), Windows 2003 (W23) and Windows XP Pro (WXP). It works within four browsers: Firefox (FF),
Internet Explorer 5.x (1135), Internet Explorer 6.x (1136), and Opera (O). It supports five connection speeds: Local Area Network (LAN), Cable (Cab), DSL (DSL), High-speed dial-up (D56) and Low-speed dial-up (D33).The following figure shows the classification tree for these configuration options.
Design a set of test environment configurations to cover the classification tree with the minimum combinations. How many configurations are required?
A. 3
B. 5
C. 20
D. 60

Q. 192: Assume you are testing a maintenance release for a browser-based application that allows car dealers to order custom-configured cars from the maker. You are concerned that some of the features added might prove difficult for the dealers’ salespeople to use, resulting in a large number of improperly-submitted orders.
Which of the following is the most cost-effective technique to reduce this usability risk?
A. Involve a selected set of salespeople in an alpha test using a usability survey
B. Involve a selected set of salespeople in an alpha test using defined test scenarios
C. Involve a selected set of salespeople in a review of early screen prototypes
D. Involve a selected set of salespeople in a phased rollout of the application

Q. 193: Assume you are testing a maintenance release which will add a new supported model to a browser-based application that allows car dealers to order custom-configured cars from the maker. You are working with a selected number of dealers who are performing beta testing. When they find problems, they send you an e-mail describing the failure. You use that e-mail to create an IEEE 1044 compliant incident report in your incident management system.
You have received the following e-mail:
I entered an order for a Racinax 917X in midnight violet. During the upload, I got an “unexpected return value” error message. I then checked the order and it was in the system. I think the Internet connection might have gone down for a moment our cable television went blank at the same time and we use a cable modem for Internet access.
Which of the following IEEE 1044 classification fields would you be unable to assign based on this information?
A. Suspect cause
B. Project phase
C. Symptom
D. Reproducibility
<<<<<< =================== >>>>>>
Q. 194: Master test plan may contain;
I. Items to be tested, out of scope test items
II. Testing schedule, budget
III. Entry and exit criteria for each level and relationship
among each level
IV. Business value of testing
A. I, II true.
B. II, III true
C. I, III, IV true
D. I, II, III , IV true
<<<<<< =================== >>>>>>
Q. 195: Consider the following potential problems that could affect testing:
I. Missing important bugs
II. Lack of documented coverage
III. Staff turnover due to tedious script maintenance
IV. Difficulty estimating effort in advance
V. Redundant coverage across multiple testers
VI. Excessively verbose test documentation
Which of the following statements is true?
A. All of these problems are associated with dynamic testing strategies.
B. All problems except III and VI are associated with dynamic testing strategies.
C. All problems except II, III, V, and VI are associated with dynamic testing strategies.
D. None o� these problems are associated with dynamic testing strategies.

Q. 196: Assume you are testing a maintenance release which will add a new supported model to a browser-based application that allows car dealers to order custom-configured cars from the maker. The following three sentences appear in the requirements specification:
Version 2.7B is the monthly maintenance release for this application. It adds support for the Racinax 917, which comes in two models, a base model and the 917X with a turbo charged version of the engine. Racinax vehicles are available in Pearl Grey (PG), Ninja Black (NB), Midnight Violet (MV), and Electric Blue (EB).
Selection of model numbers and colors are via pull-down lists on a screen. You want to develop a set of test cases that cover these requirements. Which is an adequate set of test cases based on equivalence partitioning of the model variants and the colors?
A. All pairwise combinations of valid models and colors, plus one invalid color and one invalid model.
B. All pairwise combinations of valid and invalid models and colors.
C. (917, PG, accept), (917, NB, accept), (917X, MV, accept), (917X, EB, accept), and (invalid model, invalid color, reject)
D. (917, PG, accept), (917, NB, accept), (917X, MV, accept), (917X, EB, accept), (invalid model, PG, reject), and (917X, invalid color, reject)

Q. 197: You are involved in testing a software component that gathers and analyzes various kinds of sensor input. This software will be sold to a customer that will integrate it into their systems, which are subject to government regulations. You have determined that a particular standard that requires statement and decision coverage as well as 100% requirements specification coverage applies to this software. In addition, the contract specifies a particular set of acceptance criteria that will determine whether they must pay for the software upon delivery.
Which of the following statements describes the best way to select test techniques for this project?
A. Select techniques that provide coverage of the acceptance criteria with the minimum number of tests, assuming the customer will test for standards compliance.
B. Select techniques that provide coverage to the mandated standard, assuming the customer will run acceptance tests based on the acceptance criteria.
C. Select techniques that provide coverage of those areas that are felt to be the most risky by technical contributors, as doing so will necessarily cover the standards and acceptance criteria, too.
D. Select techniques that provide coverage to the mandated standard, augment those with techniques needed to cover the acceptance criteria, and address any remaining coverage gaps through appropriate techniques.

Q. 198: A requirements specification makes the following statement:
The system shall allow a customer to order quantities from 1 to 100, inclusive, provided that the total order amount will not exceed the customer’s credit limit. The system will check each transaction as it is entered to ensure the credit limit is not exceeded.
Assume you will test using two boundary values per boundary. Assume you will have at least. one test for each equivalence class, credit Limit okay and credit hasn�t exceeded. Keeping in mind the rules applying to combining error conditions, what is the minimum number of tests (i.e., input combinations and expect results) you need to cover the quantity boundary values and credit-limit equivalence classes?
A. 2
B. 4
C. 5
D. 8

Q. 199: Which of the following statements are true about risks of introducing test automation tools?
I. Poorly designed test cases automated “as is” results in execution errors.
II. Reduce defect detection due to limited manual testing by a tester.
III. Too many dependencies to integrate test tools and test tool limitations.
IV. Unrealistic expectations from management.
A. I, III true
B. II, IV true
C. All of them are true
D. None of them are true

II. “Recognition of failure caused by a defect”
III. Requires a change to the work item
a) Incident
b) Defect
c) Bug
d) Failure
A. I-a, II-a, III-b
B. I-a, II-d, III-b
C. I-b, II-c, III-d
