If we say that a set of tests has achieved 100% structural decision coverage on a particular module in aprogram, what does that mean?

A project to replace your company's sales and merchandising system has begun. The old system is still in production but is poorly documented and expensive to maintain: changing it has often produced a large quantity of defects. The new version will be developed using modern techniques and technology. Requirements include: Loading sales data, sent electronically from the stores each evening, into a central database where it is then available for other applications. Producing sales reports for the merchandisers, whose job is to manage stock levels in stores. Predictions of future demand for each product, based on a combination of sales history and forecasting parameters. Requirements 1 and 2 are satisfied by the existing system and will be rewritten with no significant changes. Requirement 3 is new: these forecasting reports will be run overnight, and users will request them by entering simple parameters online during the day. The sales data are loaded in an overnight batch run. There have been problems at peak periods when this run has taken longer than scheduled, so that dependent jobs could not finish before the start of the working day. As a Technical Test Analyst, you have been asked to contribute to the project's Master Test Plan. The key stakeholders are: The Merchandising Manager, who wants parameter entry to be quick and easy. The Data Centre Manager, who requires the new batch jobs to take less time than the old ones. No specific performance requirements have been given, either for the batch jobs or for online parameter entry. Which TWO of the following will BEST meet the objectives of the stakeholders? 

Which of the following is the best example of a reliability failure for the application?

Subject to testing is a software system (COTS) for Project Administration and Control (PACS). PACS is a multi-project system for controlling the project time, e.g., in terms of scheduling and tracking, and managing the productivity of projects, e.g., in terms of effort and deliverables. During various interviews with stakeholders the following information was gathered: • Using PACS is not business critical. There is no impact such as high financial losses or problems to the operational continuity of an organization. Its application is not critical since the software package does not support directly the operational, or the primary, business processes of an organization. It supports (project) management in the project planning and tracking process. Of course, it will be highly annoying for users if the system “goes down” from time to time. Although this does not have a high impact for the business process as a whole, the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) still needs to be at a good level to be successful in the market. • Users of PACS typically have an academic educational level, but have no prior experience with this particular type of project management software. The system will be used by a large number of users within an organization. • The system will be used on a regular basis, e.g., several times per day by project managers and several times per week by project employees. This means that the system will not be used very intensively, often only for some data input or an information request. Its usage is not considered to be very time-critical. • The data is recorded on-line and real-time. The system is expected to run in multiple hardware environments in various network environments. It is also expected that changes in the operational environments will happen in the upcoming period that also need to be supported. Based on the information provided by the stakeholder, which combination of non-functional quality characteristics should you propose to test as part of your test approach?

You are working on a new product that will provide an online pizza ordering service. Not everyone wants to create a frequent-eater pizza account, so the user can either log in to their existing account, create an account or proceed as a “guest" user. People with existing accounts have the option to update their accounts including changing address, changing credit card information and changing phone number. New account creation requires the user to enter their address, credit card information and phone number. This information Is validated to be sure the address matches the credit card information. Once the user logs in, they are able to order their pizza. They can request up to five different pizzas and can select different ingredients on each. A user is allowed to pick up to 10 different ingredients per pizza. They can also select from a pre-defined set of ingredients as follows: “meat lovers", “all veggie’, “cheese please’, and “throw it all on". The busiest day of the year for this product will be the day of the final football game of the professional season. In addition to the normal high load, the company will also be running a special on the “cheese please" pizza (buy 3 get 2 more free). The new product will need to handle a load that Is expected to be twice as high as the load on the old product last year. Given this information, what is an important item that should be addressed In the architectural specification?
