Question 9

A new web app aims at offering a rich user experience. As a functional tester, you have run some functional tests to verify that, before releasing the app, such app works correctly on several mobile devices, all of which are listed as supported devices within the requirements specification. These tests were performed on stable and isolated test environments where you were the only user interacting with the application. All tests passed, but in some of those tests you observed the following issue: on some mobile devices only, the response time for two web pages containing images was extremely slow.
Based only on the given information, which of the following recommendation would you follow?

A. You should open a defect report providing detailed information on which devices and by running which tests you observed the issue

B. You should not open any defect report and inform the test manager that the devices on which you observed the issue should no longer be supported so that they will be removed from the requirements specification

C. You should not open any defect report as the problem is most likely due to poor hardware equipment on the devices where you observed the issue

D. The issue is related to performance efficiency, not functionality. Thus, as a functional tester, you should not open any defect report as all the functional tests passed

B. Performing non-functional testing starting at the system test level.

C. Using continuous integration (CI) and even better continuous delivery (CD).

After being in operation for many years, a document management system must be decommissioned as it has reached its end of life. This system will not be replaced by any other new system. A legal obligation provides that all documents within the system must be kept for at least 20 years in a state archive.
Which of the following statements about maintenance testing for decommissioning of this system is true?

A. Data migration testing is required as part of maintenance testing

B. No maintenance testing is required as this system will not be replaced

C. Regression testing is required as part of maintenance testing

D. Confirmation testing is required as part of maintenance testing

Question 12

An anti-intrusion system is battery powered and is activated by pressing the only available button. To deactivate the system, the operator must enter a PIN code. The system will stay in alert mode within a configurable timeout and an alarm bell will ring if the system is not deactivated before the timeout expires.
The following state transition diagram describes the behavior of the system:

What is the minimum number of test cases needed to cover every unique sequence of exactly 4 states/3 transitions starting and ending in the "Inactive" state? (note that "Inactive" is not a final state in the diagram)

A. 4

B. 3

C. 1

D. 2
