The following depicts a main path through the use case "Return Item":
USE CASE: Return Item
* Use case ID:UC14
* Purpose:Customer selects an item for return and prints return label
* Actors:Customer, System
* Pre-conditions:Customer has opened shopping site home page

Exceptions:
* E1:Customer is already logged-in (Main Menu displayed) - Step M2
* E2:Invalid log-in details entered (Prompt to retry) - Step M4
* E3:Third invalid log-in attempt (Account frozen for 24 hours) - Step M4
* E4:Go-Back requested - Steps M7 (to Main Menu) and M9 (to Order History) You are to apply the Use Case test technique with the following rules:
* One test case for the basic behavior
* Multiple alternate behaviors may be combined if compatible
* Nested alternate behaviors (like retry) should be amalgamated
How many test cases should be designed?

Ken finds the quality of the tea locally available to be so low, that he decides to research superior teas around the world. He decides to market, sell and distribute these superior teas via the web. His marketing strategy is to offer superior products on a well-designed website that has fast loading graphics, high availability, superior usability and fast response times. The website will offer the following:
- An innovative interactive catalogue of teas, which not only enables customers to buy the product, but also enables them to provide feedback by rating the teas (which will influence his stock purchasing levels).
- Provide the customer with the ability to use secure credit card transactions.
- Provide the customer with the ability to give general feedback.
Ken selects an iterative model for the development of the prototypes. The team consists of three developers who are experienced in web development Ken, although he doesn't have a technical skillset, is concerned with quality. He doesn't believe a lot of documentation is necessary and he wants the website to be completed quickly. The test basis contains the following:
- Story boards that show the information flow and page links through the site.
- HTML pages developed to date
- A set of non-functional requirements.
With the strategy taking shape, it is decided that exploratory testing should be used to complete the required testing, bearing in mind the nature of the application and the nature of Ken's overall objectives. You have now been given the task of identifying the exploratory tests, which will be executed as test sessions.
Which of the options below state what you will typically use for identifying the exploratory tests?

• A. Define low-level test cases to be executed by the end users.
• B. Create test chatters to be used to guide the testing
• C. Apply equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis using the storyboard ideas as a basis to maximise functional coverage
• D. Use external testers on the team to provide a new approach and fresh view to the testing effort

company in the medical domain has adopted methodical testing as its preferred test strategy Before being able to release to the market an external audit on the test process is mandatory. The test team consists of a mix of highly experienced domain-based testers and junior testers who only recently joined the company.
What is the BEST option regarding the level of detail and documentation required for test cases in the project?

• A. Low-level test cases since this will support both the external audit and the new junior testers.
• B. High-level test cases since it will make the process more effective and it will make the best use of the knowledge and skills of the experienced I domain testers.
• C. Low-level test cases since it will make the process more effective and it will make the best use of the knowledge and skills of the experienced domain testers.
• D. High-level test cases since this is consistent with the chosen test strategy

Consider the following requirement:
The system shall allow cash advances of at least 200 Euros for all supported credit cards The following credit cards are supported- American Express, Diners, VISA, Mastercard and Eurocard.
The requirement has been identified as business critical.
The following test conditions have been derived:
1. The system shall allow cash advances of at least 200 Euros
2. It shall support American Express, Diners, VISA, Mastercard and Eurocard.
Assume you are following a risk-based testing strategy, where likelihood and impact are both assessed on a five-point scale ranging from very low to very high The requirement R1 was identified as a risk item during the quality risk analysis process. In total 20 risk items were identified during this process Assume that technical project stakeholders have assessed the likelihood of the requirement R1 risk item at a medium level Given only the information above, which of the following statements is true?

• A. A large number of test cases should be designed for requirement R1, based on impact
• B. The risk impact for requirement R1 should be categorized as high or very high
• C. The test cases associated with requirement R1 shall be run first in the test execution period
• D. The test cases associated with requirement R1 must be run towards the middle of the test execution period.
