Question 2

You are a tester in an agile team. The user story you are due to test is still under development so your tests are blocked. The main issue holding progress on this user story is that the developer's unit tests are constantly failing.

As an agile tester, which of the following actions should you take?

AReview the design of the problematic user story and improve it where possible.

BCreate a bug report for each of your blocked tests.

CWork together with the developer, suggesting reasons why the tests are failing.

DUse the time to improve and automate existing test cases of other user stories.

Answer : C

Question 3

Consider an online application that allows registered users to pay the annual car tax based on the vehicle's engine power in kW. Given the following user story:

"As a customer I need the online application to calculate the annual car tax amount that I need to pay for my car:

* If the power of the vehicle is less than 20 kW, then the annual car tax is free

* If the power of the vehicle is more or equal than 20 kW but less or equal than 150 kW, then the annual car tax is 250 Euros

* If the power of the vehicle is more than 150 kW, then the annual car tax is 750 Euros"

What is the MOST suitable use of a black-box test design technique for this user story?

ADecision table testing. Test the following conditions:
Conditions=registered user logged in; inserted power of the vehicle=20kW;
Action=Car tax paid

BState transition testing. Test the transitions between the following states:
logging in, inserting the power of the vehicle, making payment, logging out.

CEquivalence partitioning. Test the annual car tax value for the following partitions:
[power of the vehicle<20 kW ; 20 kW power of the vehicles150 kW; power of the vehicle>150 kW]

DUse case testing
Test the following use case (Actor=registered user):
Pre-condition=registered user logged in
Scenario=registered user inserts the power of the vehicle, making payment and logs out
Post-condition=car tax paid and registered user logged out

Answer : C

Question 4

1) A task to design the features planned for the next sprint.

2) A task to run an acceptance test for a user story.

3) A task to automate regression tests.

4) A task to participate in training in preparation for the fourth sprint.

Question 5

During a retrospective, which of the following items would be the LEAST effective to generate discussions on process improvement?

AThe build process was slow and this often caused delays waiting for the build to complete.

BFor the last sprint the estimated and actual effort were much higher than the team capacity.

CThe automation tests failed frequently without any logs to help in debugging the failure reason.

DOne of the testers was regarded as being both disruptive and lazy and did not contribute to team success.
