As a test analyst you are involved in the early stages of an acceptance test for a Product Data Management system. You are asked to write test designs and test cases based on use cases. An early version of the system is also already available. It is a known fact that on the implementation level many things will change (including the user-interface). The tests will be carried by end-users with much domain knowledge who have also been involved in the project defining the user requirements and reviewing documentation.
What is the BEST option regarding the level of detail and documentation required for test cases in the project?
[K4] 3 credits

• A. Detailed concrete test cases since many re-runs of the tests are expected
• B. Logical test cases supported by concrete test cases to allow for traceability and enable future changes
• C. Concrete test cases only since the end-users have extensive domain knowledge
• D. Logical test cases only since the end-user have extensive domain knowledge and many changes are expected thus reducing testware maintenance effort

A specification states: "If the fossil is Jurassic in origin then it must be catalogued under Mesozoic post Triassic and cross referred to politic limestone.
If it is a tooth, then it must be catalogued under Dental remains. If the fossil is both Jurassic in origin and a tooth it will be catalogued under Mesozoic post Triassic and cross referred to politic limestone only. "
The tester analyses this for decision table testing and finds the following conditions and actions:
C1: Jurassic
C2: tooth
A1: Catalogue as Mesozoic post Triassic
A2: Cross refer to politic limestone A3: Catalogue as Dental remains How many test cases will a collapsed decision table have? [K3] 2 credits

• A. 6

Ken, an entrepreneur in Leeds finds the quality of the tea locally available so low, that he decides to research superior teas around the world. He decides to market, sell and distribute these superior teas via the web. His market strategy is to offer superior products on a well-designed website with graphics that are fast to load, has high availability, superior usability and fast response times.
The website will offer the following:
-An innovative interactive catalogue of teas, which not only enables customers to buy the product, but also enables them to provide feedback by rating the teas (which will influence his stock purchasing levels)
-
Provide the customer with the ability to use secure credit card transactions
-
Provide the customer to give general feedback
Ken selects an iterative model for the development of the prototypes. The team consists of three developers that are experienced in web development. Ken, although he doesn't have technical skillset, is concerned with quality. He doesn't believe a lot of documentation is necessary and he wants the website to be completed quickly.
The test basis contains the following:
-Story boards that show the information flow and page links through the site
-HTML pages developed to date.
-A statement of non-functional requirements.
With the strategy taking shape, Ken asks your advice on the specific testing techniques that should be used to complete the required testing, bearing in mind the nature of the application and the nature of Ken's overall objectives.
