Topic 3, Case Study # 3 Scenario
Data is transmitted over the internet as a series of packets. Each packet is sent to its destination
via the best available route. The decision on the best available route is made by a series of routers
on the internet.
In order to make the best decision on the route to take, the router:
1) Scans the destination address and matches it against rules set up in a configuration table.

2) Checks the performance of the primary connection to see if it is good enough to send the
packet. If not, it seeks an alternative.
Routers handle many millions of packets being sent at the same time. Packets can take the form
of email messages, data files etc.

Which of the following best describes a testing challenge of the application domain of the routers described?

Which of the following would be applicable as part of a test policy for testing these types of systems?
a)Systems must be tested for compliance to industry standard routing protocols.
b)Testing for the latest upgrade will require testing of increased network traffic of 100%.
c)Testing for the fix will require the use of dynamic analysis tools.
d)Releases will not be made if systems have any high priority defects outstanding.

When a software defect in a system has been found and fixed, which of the following activities should be undertaken next?
a.Debugging.

Topic 4, Case Study# 4 Scenario
A bank is upgrading its systems to include an on-line investment service, allowing investors to
trade with each other, in a mini-stock market environment.
The upgrade will be carried out using Agile development (within the Scrum framework). Here, the
iterations are referred to as Sprints. For each Sprint the required functionality will be defined as a
set of user-stories. The user stories are typically 1-2 lines long, indicating what the business wants
the system to do. These user stories will be built then tested.
There will be 3 Sprints:
1) Creation of the mini-stock market trading environment.
2) Creation of additional front-end enhancements.
3) Linking to stock exchange for pricing.
You are the test manager. You lead a team of 4 testers, and there are 6 developers. Your team
has worked on Agile projects previously, and on average, Sprints usually last 4 weeks. At the end
of all Sprints, a full end to end test is carried out. This is called the E2E test phase. You are
worried that 4 weeks will not be sufficient time for the first Sprint. You have decided to conduct a
Risk Management exercise before the project starts.
