Question 1

An iPhone application identifies and counts all purchases of a particular product from a shopping website. The application incorrectly counts purchase attempts by including both failed attempts, and also those where the purchase was terminated by the user before completion.

Which of the following statements correctly identifies what has happened? [K2]

A. The application failed because of a defect in the purchase identification module caused by a programmer mistake or an error in the specification. B. An error by the programmer led to a mistake in the purchase identification module and this caused a defect in the application C. A defect in the purchase identification module caused by a mistake in the module specification led to a defect in the overall application D. A bug in the purchase identification module caused a fault in the application

Question 5

Test script TransVal 3.1 tests transaction validation via screen TRN 003B. According to the specification (PID ver 1.3 10b iv) the validation screen should not accept future dated transactions. Test script TransVal 3.1 passes. Test script eod 1.4 tests end of day processing and is run after the execution of TransVal 3.1 using data entered during that test
Which of the following is the BEST detail on an incident report? [K3]

A. Title. Transaction input screen validation..Reproducible. Yes. Description. Script eod
1..4 fails . Screen shot of the failure attached. Validation of transaction entryon screen TRN-003B should not allow future dated transactions - see PID ver 1.3 para 10b iv. B. Title. Screen TRN-003B validation of transaction date.. Reproducible. No. Description.
When a future dated transaction is processed by the end of day process, a failure can occur. This does not always happen. Screen shot of the failure attached. C. Title. Screen TRN-003B validation of transaction date. Reproducible. Yes. Description.
Script eod 1.4 fails when the first transaction of the day is a future dated transaction.
