    A library computer system prevents members from checking out more than 10 books and should not allow the librarian to enter less than 1 book for check out. Using equivalence partitioning, what are the valid and invalid classes for the number of books to check out? Select one:

    • A.

      Less than 0; 1 through 10; greater than 10

    • B.

      1; 10

    • C.

      0; 5; 15

    • D.

      Less than 1; 1 through 10; greater than 10

    Correct Answer
    D. Less than 1; 1 through 10; greater than 10
    Explanation
    The valid classes for the number of books to check out are less than 1, 1 through 10, and greater than 10. This means that any number less than 1, any number between 1 and 10 (inclusive), and any number greater than 10 are valid inputs for the system. The invalid classes are not mentioned, but they would include any negative number and zero, as these are not allowed according to the system's rules.

    If a decision table has four independent conditions where Condition-1 can have values Y, N Condition-2 can have values Y, N, M Condition-3 can have values >= 1, <1 Condition-4 can have values A, B, C, D and two actions where Action - 1 can be W, X Action - 2 can be Y, Z What is the maximum number of rules the decision table needs? Select one:

    • A.

      48

    • B.

      42

    • C.

      6

    • D.

      4

    Correct Answer
    A. 48
    Explanation
    The maximum number of rules in a decision table can be calculated by multiplying the number of possibilities for each condition and action. In this case, there are 2 possibilities for Condition-1, 3 possibilities for Condition-2, 2 possibilities for Condition-3, and 4 possibilities for Condition-4. There are also 2 possibilities for Action-1 and 2 possibilities for Action-2. Multiplying all these possibilities together gives us a total of 48 possible rules for the decision table.

    Which of the following statements is true?

    • A.

      In state-transition testing, test cases are constructed from state/event combinations.

    • B.

      State-transition testing is a static test technique

    • C.

      In state-transition testing, the requirements are in the form of a task-event matrix

    • D.

      State-transition testing is a technique which uses a graphical representation of combinations of code control points and expected outputs.

    Correct Answer
    A. In state-transition testing, test cases are constructed from state/event combinations.
    Explanation
    State-transition testing is a technique used to test systems that can be described as a finite number of states and transitions between those states. In this technique, test cases are constructed based on the different combinations of states and events that the system can undergo. By testing these state/event combinations, it is possible to verify if the system behaves correctly and transitions between states as expected. This approach helps to identify any defects or issues related to the system's state transitions.

      Unit Test cases

    Correct Answer
    B. System and acceptance test cases
    Explanation
    Use cases can serve as the foundation for creating system and acceptance test cases because they describe the interactions between the system and its users. By analyzing the use cases, testers can identify the different scenarios and conditions that need to be tested during system and acceptance testing. Use cases provide a clear understanding of the system's functionality and help in designing test cases that cover all the possible user interactions and expected outcomes. Therefore, system and acceptance test cases can be derived from the use cases to ensure that the system meets the specified requirements and performs as expected.
