3. Question
2 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAA project has been initiated to collect and analyze usage of a web-based search tool in order to optimize search results for particular groups of users. The project will build on initial analysis of user data collected over a period of time and will aim to refine the collection and analysis ‘engines’ so that relevant data can be collected and analyzed in real time, enabling users to focus their search more effectively.
The project will use agile techniques in an iterative/incremental life cycle. Requirements are based on user stories and these will be explored during short ‘sprints’. The sprints will be grouped to focus on data collection for the first part of the project and analysis for the second part. Risks include the inability to analyze the volume of data collected, inability to collect data for the desired analysis, inadequate speed and response times, and poor user interface. The testing for the first part has been scoped and requirements have been documented and reviewed with no major concerns arising.
Which one of the following answers describes the most appropriate and complete sequence of activities for the TA to focus on during test analysis and design?
(K4) Analyze a given scenario, including a project description and lifecycle model, to determine the appropriate tasks for the Test Analyst during the analysis and design phases.
Correct 2 / 2PointsA. Correct: with risk mitigation added on to user story test conditions.
Incorrect / 2 PointsB. Incorrect: This option ignores test conditions for risk mitigation and goes straight to test cases, and it is not specific about the objectives of test conditions.
C. Incorrect: This option ignores test conditions altogether and goes straight to test cases.
D. Incorrect: This option ignores analysis of user stories and omits mention of desired coverage. - Question 4 of 41
4. Question
2 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAWhich one of the following statements does NOT give a good reason why test cases should be reviewed and understood by stakeholders? (K2) Explain why test cases should be understood by the stakeholders.
Correct 2 / 2PointsA. Correct: test cases should be created to comply with the test policy, not the other way around.
Incorrect / 2 PointsB. Incorrect: Yes this is one of the good reasons, that is to verify that the test cases match the business processes and rules.
C. Incorrect: Yes this is another good reason, namely that other testers should be able to understand and execute test cases.
D. Incorrect: Yes, developers need to be sure that they have the same understanding of the requirements as the testers in order to catch misunderstandings and also to participate in the optimization of tests. - Question 5 of 41
5. Question
2 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAScenario: Health Insurance
The IT department of insurance company SecureLife has started a project IQ (Improved Quality) to implement a new health insurance application to make it possible to create online transactions for health insurance claims raised by employees and members of companies or associations having health insurance agreements. In the new application it will be possible to make registration of all the information about the employees, their age, health conditions, etc. The project also has to fulfill the demands of the people doing insurance calculation, actuaries and the demands from public legislation.
The project team for IQ have testers who are business users with lots of domain knowledge but without much formal test training.
At the same time another project, HIPPOS (Health Insurance Product Public Order Sales), has been started by the marketing department of SecureLife with the purpose of launching a new Internet application that will allow potential buyers of health insurance to use a small calculator to calculate insurance premiums and possible bonus deductions based on age and different health parameters.This application will also allow individual customers to order Health Insurance Products online.
The marketing tool and web page of project HIPPO will be developed and tested by SecureLife’s Agile development team, which has worked together for the last three years with the marketing department, developing marketing web applications. The Agile team consists of well trained testers and developers. They have implemented test automation for configuration and regression testing and they have as part of their retrospectives built check lists of common defects and common security problems.As senior test analyst in SecureLife you have been asked to give input to the test strategy for the two projects, IQ and HIPPOS, regarding the level of detail and documentation required for test cases in the two projects.
Which TWO of the following are the BEST options for this strategy?
(K4) Analyze a project scenario to determine the most appropriate use for low level (concrete) and high level (logical) test cases
Correct 2 / 2PointsB. Correct: This is a good recommendation because there are demands for traceability, and the testers do not have much test experience.
D. Correct: this is the best recommendation for project HIPPOS, the team has experience in testing and in Agile development and the application is an online marketing application where experience-based testing at a logical level makes a lot of sense.
Incorrect / 2 PointsA. Incorrect: The scenario states that there are demands for traceability for project IQ, so this is not a good recommendation. Also, testers do not have much testing experience, so logical level is not good.
C. Incorrect: There are no arguments that support the same detailed level of documentation for project HIPPOS; it is a marketing application they are building.
E. Incorrect: Not a good recommendation, see argument for C.
F. Incorrect: Not a good recommendation, Agile or not it is always best practice to analyze the concrete situation and the concrete requirements, project IQ still needs traceability.

7. Question
2 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAYou are analyzing the test log below to determine what actions, if any, are required:
Test Step Expected Result Actual Result Outcome 1 Customer Name ‘Briggs’ Customer Name ‘Briggs’ Pass 2 Error 202 Error 203 Fail 3 Customer Name ‘Jones’ Customer Name ‘Jones’ Pass 4 Error OP12 Error OP21 Pass 5 Switch delivery screen Remains on the customer screen Fail On further investigation test step 2 was resolved as a typographical error in the log; the actual result was ‘Error 202’ as expected.
Which option represents the appropriate action to take next?Correct 2 / 2PointsA. Correct: checking that tests were correct in every case before raising an incident report.
Incorrect / 2 PointsB. Incorrect: This raises incident reports for steps 4 and 5 without checking test documentation or waiting for the outcome of the repeat step 4 test.
C. Incorrect: This adds an incident report for the ‘false positive’ step as well as steps 4 and 5 and does not check test documentation.
D. Incorrect: This option rechecks steps 2 and 4 but raise an incident report for step 5 without checking that the test was correct.
- Question 8 of 41
8. Question
1 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAWhich one of the following statements best expresses why accurate test case execution status information is important? (K2) Explain why accurate test case execution status information is important
Correct 1 / 1PointsA. Correct: From the syllabus: “From the point of view of the test process, test progress monitoring entails ensuring the collection of proper information to support the reporting requirements. This includes measuring progress towards completion.“.
Incorrect / 1 PointsB. Incorrect: Test case execution status could have a bearing on the ordering of which defects to fix, but there are other items, such as defect severity, which are more important.
C. Incorrect: Test case execution status information should not be used to evaluate efficiency of individuals. It can give an idea of how quickly team members are working through test cases, but status alone does not allow a manager to decide whether or not a team member is efficiently using their time.
D. Incorrect: Test case status information just has to do with status. The validation of test case coverage should be done earlier.

- Question 12 of 41
12. Question
1 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAA project to develop a foreign exchange Automated Telling Machine for an airport has been planned and a risk assessment has shown that there are 3 key risks:
1. There is a risk that usability will be a problem for visually impaired users because the operation requires viewing several screens in sequence with relatively small text. This has been assessed as medium likelihood with high impact.
2. There is a risk that response will be relatively slow because the foreign exchange rates will be checked before each transaction; this has been assessed as medium likelihood with medium impact.
3. There is a risk that accuracy of calculations could lead to cumulative errors. This has been assessed as low likelihood with high impact. The test strategy currently requires performance testing during system test, usability testing during User Acceptance Test and accuracy tests at every test level. The project schedule is under time pressure.
Which of the following possible risk mitigation actions should be prioritized highest?
(K3) For a given project situation, participate in risk identification, perform risk assessment and propose appropriate risk mitigation

- Question 14 of 41
14. Question
2 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAA company has set up an employee wellness program and combined it with the premium for health insurance:
The full standard premium for a health insurance policy is $400.
The program have the following rules:
1) Employees who make a pledge — on the honor system — that they don’t smoke, or that they take a stop-smoking class, and have a BMI below 30, get 10% off their contribution toward the full standard insurance premium.
2) Employees who fill in a “health risk assessment” with more health details will be rewarded with a $25 reduction in premium.
3) Employees who participate in a yearly health control at the company a) receive a $50 reduction in their premium for having a BMI of 27.5 or less, and a $25 reduction for having a BMI below 30. And b) if they are non-smokers, they receive an additional $50 reduction in their premium, and those that have joined a stop-smoking class receive a $25 reduction. mokers pay an additional premium of $75.
How many test cases are needed to achieve 100% test coverage of equivalence partitions of the input parameters, when testing this specification by applying the equivalence partitioning test design technique and what will be the maximum and minimum resulting premium?
(K3) Write test cases from a given specification item by applying the equivalence partitioning test design technique to achieve a defined level of coverage.
Correct 2 / 2PointsA. Correct: Parameter 1) and 2): Getting the 10 % reduction for signing pledge of honor and filling out a detailed assessment an both have 2 partitions either the do it or they don’t. Parameters 3)The smoking and the BMI parameter each have 3 partitions, so 3 test cases will be sufficient to hit all of the partitions. As for the maximum premium: An employee not signing the pledge of honor, and not filling out the detailed assessment being a smoker and having a BMI of
30 or more will have to pay the full standard premium + extra $75. On the other hand an employee, signing the pledge of honor filling out the detailed assessment, being a non smoker and having a low BMI of less that 27,5 will get deductions of: 40+25 + 50 + 50 = 165 leaving $235 in premium.Incorrect / 2 PointsB, C & D. Incorrect: See justification for A.
- Question 15 of 41
15. Question
2 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAThe participants in a yearly health check for employees are required to answer questions about smoking: Whether they are non-smokers, have started a stop-smoking class, or are smokers. This is a distractor that is probably too strong, suggest delete.
Their BMI (Body mass index) is measured in the following categories: 18.9 or less is underweight, 19 to 24.9 (inclusive) is normal, from 25 to 29.9 (inclusive) is overweight, and 30 or more is heavy overweight.
Their blood pressure is measured in categories from optimal to severely high. For simplicity in this example, only the high blood pressure (systolic) will be considered: Everything under 120 is optimal, up till 129 (inclusive) is normal, from 130 to 159 (inclusive) is medium high, and from 160 up till 179 (inclusive) is high and everything over that is severely high.
How many test cases are need to achieve 75% test coverage when testing this specification by applying the boundary value analysis test design technique using 2 values per boundary and testing BMI and blood pressure only with positive integer values. Each test case has both BMI and blood measures as data values.
Also what about extreme boundaries (this are not taken into account), if not say so explicitly.
(K3) Write test cases from a given specification item by applying the boundary value analysis test design technique to achieve a defined level of coverage.
Correct 2 / 2PointsC. Correct: this is correct 6 out of 8 are 75%. 8 is the maximum number of test cases needed for Blood Pressure which has 4 boundaries with 2 values each: 119, 120, 129, 130, 159, 160, 179, 180 For BMI there are 3 boundaries and thus 6 values: 18.9, 19, 24.9, 25, 29.9 and 30 these are covered by the same test cases as is the BP parameter.
Incorrect / 2 PointsA. Incorrect: this is wrong see explanation under C.
B. Incorrect: this is only 50%.
D. Incorrect: this is the number for 100 % coverage.
- Question 16 of 41
16. Question
3 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAThe insurance company GoodHealth has launched a new health insurance product – for all customers both new and existing – with the following specification:
Standard premium fee is 500€.
A bonus program offers customers buying the health insurance product with a 25€ discount to the standard premium fee to accept participating in the medical tests even if they are not participating.
The customers get a 25€ discount to the standard premium for everyone of four medical tests (BMI, blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol) that they take as part of the yearly medical test plus an extra 75€ if they take all the tests.
How many test cases are needed when using a collapsed decision table? How many test cases are needed when using a non-collapsed decision table but with the limitation to test customers who do not accept to participate in any medical tests, only with one test case?
Choose TWO options
(K3) Write test cases from a given specification item by applying the decision table test design technique to achieve a defined level of coverage
Correct 3 / 3PointsC. Correct: Not accepting to participate = 500 in premium, accepting to participate but failing to show up for some reason = (500 – 25) = 475. Participating with any combination of 1, 2, 3, or 4 tests will add 4 more test cases with different outcomes. See attached decision table.
E. Correct: 1 test case for not accepting to participate at all + 2*2*2*2 to cover the possibilities of yes and no in participating in the 4 tests, See decision table also in spreadsheet. (it makes no sense to do 15 more tests for people not accepting to participate since they will all result in the same negative result of not participating in any test so they are not done due to the restriction. If this restriction had not been introduced then the result would be 32 test cases).
Incorrect / 3 PointsA. Incorrect: see explanation for C.
B. Incorrect: see explanation for C.
D. Incorrect: see explanation for E.
F. Incorrect: see explanation for E.

User System 1. User sets the Easytravel card on the reading plate of the Easytravel Loading Machine. 2. The system asks what the user wishes to do: (E1) a) query card balance
b) add to balance of card
c) check latest card transactions
3. User chooses “Add balance” 4. System asks for the amount. (E1) 5. User selects the amount. 6. System asks for the payment method: (E1) a) cash
b) credit card
7. User selects a credit card. 8. System asks the user to insert a credit card into the credit card reader. (E1) 9. User inserts the credit card. 10. System shows the amount to be charged from the credit card and asks for confirmation. (E2) 11. User confirms the amount. 12. System makes the credit card transaction and adds the amount to the Easytravel card balance. 13. User removes the credit card and the Easytravel card. 14. System prints out a receipt of the transaction. 15. System returns to the main screen. Exceptions:
Exception Action E1 Users can stop the process by removing the Easytravel card from the reading plate. E2 If the user does not accept the amount to be charged, they can cancel the operation by pressing the Cancel button on the credit card reader. End result: The user’s Easytravel card balance has been increased with the selected amount and the equal amount has been charged to the credit card.

23. Question
2 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAA system is being specified for use by automotive dealers. The system will provide the ability to configure a vehicle’s optional characteristics (e.g. engine size, external trim, color), visualize the configured vehicle and generate the retail price of the vehicle. An existing system can provide a visual
model of any single configuration but it does not enable the user to modify the configuration in the same session. This system is being used as a development prototype from which it is expected that the required functionality can be generated more quickly than working from scratch, and time scales have been adjusted for a rapid delivery.Which TWO of the following test case design techniques would together give the best chance of achieving acceptable test coverage in the available time frame?
(K4) Analyze a system, or its requirement specification, in order to determine likely types of defects to be found and select the appropriate specification-based technique(s)
Correct 2 / 2PointsB. Correct: Classification trees offer the opportunity to manage combinations of inputs effectively.
E. Correct: The inputs exist in partitions (options) that are combined, so the combination of Classification Tree with Equivalence Partitioning would be an ideal choice.
Incorrect / 2 PointsA. Incorrect: Although the system may be state-based there is no information about this in the scenario and the approach of building from an existing system suggests there may be minimal definition of state changes.
C. Incorrect: Some of the inputs are likely to be in partitions (e.g. colors) but these are unlikely to be ordered partitions because they identify alternatives, so boundary value analysis is not appropriate.
D. Incorrect: User story testing is appropriate to the likely development approach but would be based more on overall functional flow than on detailed combinations of inputs.

24. Question
1 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAWhich of the following describes typical characteristics of defect-based testing techniques? (K2) Describe the application of defect-based testing techniques and differentiate their use from specification-based techniques.
Correct 1 / 1PointsA. Correct: Defect-based technique uses the typical defects identified for different types of software and programs as the source of test cases in order to find those specific type defects in the software under test.
Incorrect / 1 PointsB. Incorrect: Defect-based techniques are mainly used in system testing, not in component testing.
C. Incorrect: Test cases are created by analyzing the defects typical for the system under test, not by analyzing the documentation of the system.
D. Incorrect: Defect-based testing is not a sub-category of specification-based testing, since the specifications are not the basis of the test cases.

3 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAYou have just joined a new software organization. They have a product that is in production but it has a large number of usability issues that have been recorded against it. This particular product is a data entry product that records information about new insurance customers. The primary users of the product are data entry operators who input up to 1,000 new entries each day. You have been asked to select a good user interface checklist that can be used to test this product.
Which TWO of the following are items that should be included in this checklist?
(K4) Analyze a given defect taxonomy for applicability in a given situation using criteria for a good taxonomy.
Correct 3 / 3PointsA. Correct: Tab order is an item you should expect to see on a user interface. checklist.
B. Correct: Rules checking for valid date fields should be on a user interface checklist.Incorrect / 3 PointsC. Incorrect: This is a security item and should not be on a user interface checklist.
D. Incorrect: This is a functional item and should not be on a user interface checklist.

26. Question
1 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAWhich of the following statements BEST explains experience-based testing? (K2) Explain the principles of experience-based techniques, and the benefits and drawbacks compared to specification-based and defect-based techniques.
Correct 1 / 1PointsA. Correct: Experience-based techniques can be used as an option of more formal techniques, if the testers have enough experience and information about the system under test. Typically this can happen in situations when there is time pressure or the quality of documentation is poor or there is no documentation available.
Incorrect / 1 PointsB. Incorrect: Experience-based techniques can be used if no formal techniques can be used, but it is not the only situation – they should be used to complement formal testing whenever it’s possible.
C. Incorrect: Experience helps the tester to decide where to test more, but experience-based techniques do not necessarily improve the test coverage since they are informal and coverage measurement is not always possible while using these techniques.
D. Incorrect: With the use of checklists, experience-based testing can be made more systematic and efficient, but if there is a requirement for the use of specification-based techniques, experience-based techniques can’t replace them. Even though this is partially correct, the question asks for the BEST option and thus this is not the correct answer.

given the task of specifying, executing and recording the test sessions.Select THREE of the options below to define what you will need or will use for specifying, executing and recording the sessions.
(K3) For a given scenario, specify exploratory tests and explain how the results can be reported.
Correct 3 / 3PointsA. Correct per the syllabus as a way to record results.
B. Correct per the syllabus as you will need this knowledge to figure out what to test since the problem is not defined.
C. Correct since specifying exploratory sessions should include charters and time boxes of some type.
Incorrect / 3 PointsD. Incorrect: The pass/fail status of the session per the charter should also be recorded.
E. Incorrect: Exploratory testing will require experienced people – probably domain experienced in this example although an experienced tester could probably do the work as well.
F. Incorrect: This is likely to lead to lost results and no overall tracking.
G. Incorrect: Test cases are not normally defined for exploratory sessions.
- Question 28 of 41
28. Question
2 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAThe marketing department of insurance company, SecureLife, has started a project called HIPPOS (Health Insurance Product Public Order Sales). The purpose of the project is to create a new Internet application where potential customers can calculate insurance premiums and bonuses based on age and different health factors.
The new application will also make it possible for individual customers to order health insurance products online.
The tool and web page created by project HIPPOS will be developed and tested by SecureLife’s Agile development team. The Agile development team has worked together for the last three years with the marketing department, developing web applications. The Agile team consists of well-trained testers and developers. They have implemented test automation for configuration and regression testing and they have built taxonomies of common defects and common security problems.
In Project HIPPOS the Product Owner from Marketing has presented the following requirements to the Agile team before the first release planning meeting
1. The Web health insurance calculator shall calculate according to the rules of calculation described by the actuary and insurance calculation business section
2. The user interface of the Web Health Insurance Order application shall follow the same standards as the other marketing web applications and use a predefined setup of page frames and dialogs having been used during the last two years
3. The Web applications shall support the latest 3 versions of each of Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari
4. Security must be at the same level as for other marketing web applications
The Agile team has been asked to prepare a testing strategy. The Product Owner asks the team to present their proposal for the use of testing techniques at the release planning meeting. Which one of the following proposals best supports the given scenario?
(K4) For a given project situation, determine which specification-based, defect-based or experience-based techniques should be applied to achieve specific goals.
Correct 2 / 2PointsA. Yes this is the most likely proposal blending a number of techniques: It mentions both exploratory and defect-based testing, the latter of which is directly supported by the scenario, that states “the team …has as part of their retrospectives built check lists of common defects…” and because the organization should have experience with the types of defects this type of application will exhibit. Further decision table testing is proposed which matches what is written in the scenario for no 1. Automated configuration testing is supported by the scenario for no 3 and so is checklist based attacks for security testing in no 4.
Incorrect / 2 PointsB. No: It is primarily wrong because decision and branch testing are not specification based techniques, but it could also have mentioned defect based testing, since the scenario explicitly mentioned that the team has build a list of common defects.
C. No: It is not likely that specification based testing is applicable for no 1-4 in the scenario further there is nothing in no 1 that supports the use of state transition testing, instead decision table testing ought to have been mentioned.
D. No: Exploratory testing is not mentioned at all. It ought to be part of the techniques used by this Agile team. For no 1 EP and BVA are mentioned while decision table would be more likely. Further specification based techniques are proposed for security testing in no 4 where attack based or error based techniques would be more suitable based on the scenario.

35. Question
1 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAHow does phase containment contribute to reducing the cost of development? (K2) Explain how phase containment can reduce costs.
Correct 1 / 1PointsA. Correct: Defect tracking can identify where a defect was introduced and where it was eliminated. Defects not eliminated may give rise to failures and also generate further defects.
Incorrect / 1 PointsB. Incorrect: This response sounds like a form of containment but actually restricts testing arbitrarily.
C. Incorrect: This response also sounds like a form of phase-centric testing, making the erroneous assumption that certain techniques will be best in certain phases.
D. Incorrect: This response is the reverse of the correct one in that it defers testing until defects have become as expensive as they can get (almost).

37. Question
1 pointsCategory: Advanced Test Analyst ATAA project to build a control system for a national fire service is being conducted on a government contract which has strict deadlines and penalties will be incurred for late delivery. Acceptance criteria include limits on the number of outstanding defects of different levels of severity at the end of user acceptance. The system embodies a sophisticated user interface based on an innovative design that has not yet been deployed in any other system and which is critical to the effectiveness of the system. The project is using a waterfall life cycle but with incremental deliveries based on priorities of individual requirements. The project will make use of a defect classification system during development and the
tool in use will allow up to 3 separate classifications to be used.Which of the following defect classifications will BEST meet the project’s needs? (K4) Identify, gather and record classification information for a given defect.
Correct 1 / 1PointsA. Correct: because it counts outstanding defects by severity (which relates directly to the acceptance criteria), phase in which the defect was introduced (which is the basis of phase containment to save cost and time in the project), symptom (because user interface defects
are of particular concern).Incorrect / 1 PointsB. Incorrect: tracks defects by priority (not directly related to the acceptance criteria), phase in which the defect was detected (less useful than phase in which it was introduced in terms of phase containment), and suspected cause (which would be useful for process improvement but less useful for driving the project).
C. Incorrect: tracks how the defect was discovered (useful for process improvement but not directly relevant for this project), total defects (rather than those outstanding at any time), and the work product in which the mistake was made (useful for process improvement).
D. Incorrect: tracks symptoms (useful for identifying user interface defects), outstanding defects by priority (not severity), and suspected cause (useful for process improvement).
