QUESTION NO: 1
A development house (DH) uses the V model for its projects. It delivers systems to the energy industry. In response to consumer demands, DH has been asked to create an online system for consumers to switch energy suppliers easily. There are already offerings in the marketplace for this service, but DH thinks it can provide a service which is easier to use. It will request more detailed information on homes and occupant lifestyles in order to accurately predict likely bills per quarter, and will update users if a cheaper tariff becomes available. For this new service, the specifications have been defined, code has been created, and system testing is about to start. Which of the following could form part of the entry criteria into system testing?
I. 100 per cent decision coverage of all tariff calculations.
II. 100 per cent functional specification coverage of all household types.
III. Outstanding defects at integration testing highlighted.
IV. Test summary report for system testing produced.
V. Business requirements signed off.

QUESTION NO: 2
A major bank has recently outsourced all of its software development in an effort to reduce its fixed costs. The new supplier will be responsible for all new developments as well as enhancements to existing ones. The bank has retained its own management team for its projects. There will be an in-house project
manager, development manager and test manager for each project. Some staff may work on more than one project, depending on the overall size. An enhancement is being made to allow existing customers to authorise their own loans online, from EUR 1k to EUR 10k by answering a series of questions. You are a test manager with the bank and you have written a test strategy for the outsourced team to follow. Unit testing
has begun but informal conversations with the developers have revealed that they have not received a signed-off specification from the bank for the enhancement.
They do know how loans work though and have created code from conversations with bank staff alongside their own knowledge. How could a strategy have helped to avoid this situation?

QUESTION NO: 8
A car manufacturer is updating its airbag deployment system for its family cars. It has increased the number of airbags from four to nine. This has necessitated an upgrade to the airbag control software (ACS) to allow deployment of the extra airbags where appropriate. The car manufacturer receives information from on-board sensors. From this, it calculates the amount of deployment needed (minimal, medium and full), and from which airbag(s). For this upgrade, it will
receive information from extra sensors to be used in its calculations. The car manufacturer employs its own in-house software development team. It uses the V model for its software development. There are four stages of testing, from unit through to factory acceptance testing. The development team is made up of project, programming and test managers. The programmers use object-oriented methods for development. The car manufacturer wishes to be first to market with the extra airbags, which will allow it to increase the safety ratings for its family cars, thereby increasing sales in a very competitive market. Which of the following is a product risk of the upgrade described?
