Which of the following is an important principle for using experienced-based test techniques?

It is possible that the test execution phase will be shortened and that test cases will need to be
prioritised. What is the main reason to prioritise the test cases?

Scenario “Tax system”
The tax system needs to be updated due to new legislation. For a person with a salary of less than €
20.000 and who is married, the tax needs to be re-calculated. If the person also has more than two
and less than five children, an additional 10% reduction is applicable. The functionality of the newly
released tax system is now at the right level. However, there are frequent complaints about nonfunctional issues. In particular:
i the new system does not run on PC’s with VISTA installed
ii it is difficult to update the system quickly when new legislation
must be implemented
iii especially when many users are using the web site, the system
seems to be slow
iv some users enthusiastically use the system but are not able to
complete some of the transactions

Which TWO types of risks are related to complaint (i) and (ii)?

distinguished when applying equivalence partitioning to the Tax System specification?

Using the scenario as described above, using boundary value analysis, which would be the most
interesting test set to explicitly test one single boundary value as defined in the specification?

Which of the following tools could be introduced in addition to inspections and can partly replace a
code inspection?

The development manager has reviewed the initial inspection results in the company and has
discovered that your inspection logging rate is 2 issues per minute and the average checking rate is 5
pages per hour. Around 10 major defects are found per page. The manager is willing to invest more
money in your inspection programme. What should he/she do?

As part of the new strategy a user interface specification has been created to help development to
gain familiarity with the requirements. What kind of review would be most helpful in this situation?

What is a good review meeting practice?
