ISTQB Question Dumps For Software Testing -  Part 10

 
 
Question
 
Scenario:
You have planned to run 600 tests on your own. Each test will take approximately 10 minutes to run. Your manager has told you that you must complete these tests within one week. What would you do?

 
 
Answer:
 
Assuming there are 7hours per working day. This task would take you:
600x10 = 6000 minutes = 100 hours = 14.286 days
There are a number of options that could be considered:
  • Work overtime (this should not be considered as a first resort)
  • Ask for more staff to help (again this may not be the best approach, particularly if you need to spend time training and mentoring the new staff)
WE SHOULD:
  • Re-prioritise our tests and run the most important tests first
  • Assuming that not all the 600 tests would have been run within this time, risk assessment need to be made as to the consequences of not running the extra tests.
  • After this initial week and the system is implemented there is no reason why the extra

    Junior Testers often make the mistake of working harder and longer hours, which often goes ignored and unappreciated. Don't work longer than you have to unless asked specifically to. Prioritise the most important tests and notify your Test Manager or Project Manager about the workload.

What is LCSAJ Testing?

-
Image
LCSAJ testing requires a model of the source code which identifies control flow jumps (where control flow does not pass to a sequential statement). An LCSAJ (Linear Code Sequence and Jump) is defined by a triple, conventionally identified by line numbers in a source code listing: the start of the linear code sequence, the end of the linear code sequence, and the target line to which control flow is transferred. Test cases shall be designed to exercise LCSAJs. For each test case, the following shall be specified: - the input(s) to the component; - identification of the LCSAJ(s) to be executed by the test case; - the expected outcome of the test case.

What is Syntax Testing?

-
Image
Syntax Testing uses a model of the formally-defined syntax of the inputs to a component. The syntax is represented as a number of rules each of which defines the possible means of production of a symbol in terms of sequences of, iterations of, or selections between other symbols. Test cases with valid and invalid syntax are designed from the formally defined syntax of the inputs to the component. Test cases with valid syntax shall be designed to execute options which are derived from rules which shall include those that follow, although additional rules may also be applied where appropriate: -   whenever a selection is used, an option is derived for each alternative by replacing the selection with that alternative; -   whenever an iteration is used, at least two options are derived, one with the minimum number of iterated symbols and the other with more than the minimum number of repetitions.   A test case may exercise any number of options.   For each test case the
