You are working on an internet banking project. Your company is offering this product to the financial market.
For each new customer, some customization will typically be needed. To make the product successful there is a strong focus during development on a reliable and maintainable architecture. To support architectural reviews, a checklist will be developed. Within the checklist specific sections will be attributed to reliability and maintainability.
Which question from the list below should you include in the maintainability section of the architectural review checklist?

• A. Does the password protection of the system adhere to the latest regulations?
• B. Will the user interface be implemented independently from the other software modules?
• C. Does the system have user-friendly error messages?
• D. Will the system use n-version programming for critical components?

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 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.

• A. b and d
• B. b and e
• C. a and b
• D. c and e

Given the following code:
If x > y and z = 3 statement!
elseif z = 4 statement
endif;
What is the minimum number of tests needed to achieve 100% decision coverage?

• A. 1
• B. 4
• C. 3
• D. 2

A new system is being built to handle the message handling of financial transactions - this system is critical to the organization's finances. The code includes loops and decisions with several multiple conditions. The nature of the system means that tests are quite time-consuming to execute. Which of the following would be the BEST white box testing option for the new software?

• A. Multiple Condition coverage
• B. Statement coverage
• C. MC/DC coverage
• D. Decision coverage
