Your team is now accountable for the support and enhancement of a payroll system that has been in production for many years and modified by many different developers. It has been noticed by management that small functional enhancements take much longer than equivalent changes on more recently developed systems. You have been tasked with implementing improved testing approaches that will help to identify the root cause of this problem.
Which of the following is the best technique to apply in this scenario?
You are an experienced tester on an Agile team that is producing a new application. The product backlog has been refined sufficiently to begin development for the first release. This stories in this backlog contain a mixture of functional and non-functional requirements, as well as some technical stories that will provide elements of the application's infrastructure The developers have decided to use TDD as a deveiopment approach but automation of the acceptance tests is not yet planned.
You have been asked to recommend whether or not the team should take an atdd approach as well as TDD. what would be the BEST recommendation in these circumstances?

A software company based in Spain that develops mobile applications expects many small updates in the future, e.g., due to changing configurations and customer feedback. The company also wants to focus on being able to change the software effectively and efficiently during initial development without introducing new defects.
Which maintainability sub-characteristic should be covered by the test approach during the initial development?
Consider the following code segments.
Segment 1:
If a > b then setc = 12
elseif c >7 set c = 5
endif
Segment 2: setc= 12 for n = 1 to c
display c
endfor
Segment 3:
If (a > b) or (c < d) then
set c = 12
else
set c = 5
endlf
Segment 4:
set y = 4
call (segments)
segments:
start
for I = 1 to y
print y

Which segment would receive the highest cyclomatic complexity value?
Which of the following does NOT contribute to a more effective review preparation by the Technical Test Analyst?
Within the world of consumer electronics, the amount of embedded software is growing rapidly. The amount of software in high-end television sets has increased by a factor of about eight over the last six years. In addition, the market of consumer electronics has been faced with a 5 -10% price erosion per year. The price of a product is, among a number of other things, determined by the microcontroller used. Therefore, the use of ROM and RAM remains under high pressure in consumer electronic products, leading to severe restrictions on code size.
You are a Technical Test Analyst involved in the review of the architecture of this project.
Which of the following issues would be MOST important to focus on during the review and when verifying the correct implementation?
A medical company has performed a safety criticality analysis using the IEC61508 standard. The software components to be developed have been categorized by Safety Integrity Level (SIL). Most components have been rated at SIL 1 or 2, and a few components at SIL 4.
After some discussions with the QA manager, the project has decided to adhere to the recommendations for test coverage provided by the IEC61508 standard.
Which level and type of test coverage should at least be used for the components rated at Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2?

SELECT ONE OPTION
You are involved in testing a system in the medical domain. Testing needs to comply with the FDA requirements and is rated as being safety critical. A product risk assessment has been performed and various mitigation actions have been identified. Reliability testing is one of the test types that needs to be performed throughout the development lifecycle.

The following user story has been written for a new application being developed to pre-book a space at a National Car Park.
As a vehicle driver
i want to be able to pre-book a car parking space online, selecting a disabled driver's space if needed
So that l can pay in advance and receive confirmation of my parking space number.
The following acceptance criteria have also been written:
•Payment can be made via PayPal, Debit or Credit Card
•Confirmation of payment and car parking details should be sent after the booking process is completed
•Driver information is stored in the reservation database
The database has been built and tested in a previous sprint, but the interface to the different payment methods have yet to be developed
As a tester in an agile team, you have been asked to review the user story You have detected some issues with this story:
1.it needs to cater for different user groups: a driver or disabled driver
2.it needs to cater for different vehicle types: a car. 4x4. van or motorbike
3.There are no acceptance criteria relating to how quick the booking process should be
4.How confirmation is to be sent for payment and space number, and other important details, have not been specified
5.A stub will be needed to test the payment method
