NEW QUESTION 76
Within the world of consumer electronics, the amount of embedded software is growing rapidly. The amount of software in high-end television sets has increased by a factor of about eight over the last six years. In addition, the market of consumer electronics has been faced with a 5 -10% price erosion per year. The price of a product is, among a number of other things, determined by the microcontroller used. Therefore, the use of ROM and RAM remains under high pressure in consumer electronic products, leading to severe restrictions on code size.
Within a new high-end TV project, it has been decided to apply dynamic analysis.
Which of the quality goals listed below is MOST appropriate to the project context?

NEW QUESTION 77
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?

As a Technical Test Analyst, you have been asked to contribute to the project’s Master Test Plan. The concerns expressed by stakeholders during risk identification include the length of the batch job runs, ease of parameter entry for the users, unauthorized access to stored sales data, and limited time for testing. With these in mind, which TWO of the following quality characteristics sub-characteristics are likely to contain the highest levels of technical risk?
A) Operability.
B) Time behavior.
C) Interoperability.
D) Security.
E) Testability.

NEW QUESTION 86
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?

NEW QUESTION 87
You have conducted static analysis on several new modules for an existing product. You are now executing test cases and are seeing inconsistent problems including crashes. Intermittent error messages are appearing.
Despite all your best efforts, you are not able to find reproducible scenarios to force these errors.

NEW QUESTION 88
You are defining the test approach for an Agile project release focused on significantly overhauling the user interface of a golf club’s booking system. Additional features will allow more flexible bookings across three courses. These changes are driven by numerous customer complaints about the current system’s confusing design and limited options. The release will consist of six two-week sprints.
Stakeholders have performed a risk assessment and consider the impact of system failure as high due to potential customer loss. A regression-averse strategy is recommended due to the extensive changes expected in screen design and functionality.
Which option below represents the BEST test approach for this release? Please use the following symbols consistently:
* + (highly recommended)
* (recommended)
* o (neutral/optional)
* * (not recommended)
* – (not to be used)
