A system includes password protected data input. The data input screen first requires the user to enter a valid password containing from 6 – 12 characters, including at least 1 numerical character. No data can be input by the user until a valid password has been supplied. Entry of a non-valid password generates an error message and an opportunity to try again. A test case has been written to address the password validation and a test procedure must now be designed for that test case. Which of the following test procedures will be the MOST effective for a manual tester who is unfamiliar with the system?

Which of the following statements characterise exploratory testing? a.Testing is carried out within time boxes. b.A useful approach where there are inadequate specifications. c.Tests are derived based on structure of the code. d.Is a complementary technique to structured testing.

A programme level Master Test Plan states that a number of best practices must be adopted for its project life cycle models, irrespective of whether a sequential or iterative-incremental approach is adopted for by each project. Which of the following life cycle related best practices would you expect to see in the Master Test Plan? a.Each test level has its own, specific, test objectives. b.Each project should have four test levels when adopting the V-model. c.Test analysis and design for a test level should start before its corresponding development activity is complete. d.System testing must not be performed by the development teams.

The above table shows 6 test procedures (P to U) that must now be entered into a test execution schedule. Business severity is regarded as the most important element in determining the sequence of the test procedures, but other dependencies must also be taken into consideration. Regression testing can only be run once all other tests have completed.
