6You test a system that computes the pass/fail result for a student who attends a lecture on software testing. The lecture consists of laboratories and exam. For each of these two parts, a student can get from 0 to 50 points (it is always an integer number). The final evaluation is based on the following rule (Please see image)

7You work as a tester in a software house and you concurrently work on two projects. One of them is an internal tool for on-line room reservation, done within an agile life cycle. The other one is a commercial software for managing hospital patients' data, conducted in the waterfall model. In one month, new versions of both systems will be released. You don't have time to perform all the planned tests for both systems. You decide to focus on testing the commercial system. Select the correct answer.
- AThis is a good decision, because the commercial software is much more important for the company than the internal system.
- BThis is a bad decision, because critical defects can occur in both systems, and one of them will not be tested.
- CThis is a bad decision, because testing commercial project will be much more expensive than testing the internal one.
- DThis is a good decision, because the waterfall model requires testing during the end of the project.
8Figure 6.1 presents the set of test cases you want to execute. An arrow from a test case A to B indicates logical dependencies between these test cases: the execution of B is possible only after the execution of A.

- CA technique for representing a sequence of decisions undertaken by a subject in collaboration with one or more actors.
- DA technique for deriving test cases that exercise the decisions in the code and for testing the code that is executed based on the decision outcomes.
20Which sentence explains correctly the importance of performing regression test regarding the SDLC model chosen?
- ARegression testing is important in incremental models, because after adding an increment, we need to check if it did not cause problems in other, already developed , parts of the system.
- BRegression testing is important during the system testing, because regression testing is usually performed on a system that allows end-to-end testing, no matter which SDLC model is chosen.
- CRegression testing is important in a waterfall model, because in the sequential models, testing is performed in the late phases, when the system is already implemented, so the testing effort will be usually bigger than in case of incremental models.
- DRegression testing is important in the iterative SDLC models, because these models put a strong emphasis on the constant interaction between end users, testers, and developers.
21Software development models must be adapted to:
- ATesting model
- BUser requirements
- CTesting process
- DContext of the project

23Recently, your organisation outsourced the test team for conducting the performance testing. You talk with a developer, who told you that it was a very good idea, because now they - developers - do not need to care so much about the performance issues, as they will be found by the test team. This is an example of:
- ABenefit of test independence, as developers may focus on other activities.
- BBenefit of test independence, as the outsourced testing team may see other and different defects and is unbiased.
- CDrawback of test independence, as the outsourced team is isolated from the developers.

24Which of the following can be the root cause of the fact that a developer implemented an ineffective algorithm?

- BNo, because we would have to apply the rules described in the document to themselves.
- CNo, because the document describes how to perform a static analysis of a source code, but the document itself is not a source code.

32Testers may test the software more efficient than developers, because:
- ATesters may have programming skills.
- BTesters usually do not have programming skills.
- CDevelopers' responsibility is to write code, not to test it.

34You perform an ad-hoc review of the model of a process that realises the following business requirement.: "User can send any file of size at most 1 GB through a web form. If the file size exceed this bound, the system should reject the file, clear the form, and return to the initial state. Otherwise, the system accepts the file."
The model under review is presented in Fig. 6.2.
What type of defect in the model can you uncover during the review?
- AWrong design, because there is a potentially infinite loop.
- BInconsistency with the requirement regarding the business rule.
- CAmbiguity, because the model does not say what file types are accepted.
- DThere are no defects - the model conforms to the business requirement.
