Question No. 1

Ken, an entrepreneur in Leeds finds the quality of the tea locally available 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 market strategy is to offer superior products on a well-designed website with graphics that are fast to load, has 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 to give general feedback

Ken selects an iterative model for the development of the prototypes. The team consists of three developers that are experienced in web development. Ken, although he doesn't have 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 statement of non-functional requirements.

With the strategy taking shape, Ken asks your advice on the specific testing techniques that should be used to complete the required testing, bearing in mind the nature of the application and the nature of Ken's overall objectives.

We now make the assumption that in the scenario described as above, exploratory testing was selected as being the main test technique. You have now been given the task of specifying, executing and recording the exploratory test sessions.

Question No. 3

For an ATM banking project introduced earlier, ''When the user first inserts a valid credit card type, the system considers the user to be in an unauthenticated state. When requesting a cash advance, the user must be in an authenticated state. The user authenticates by entering the proper PIN code. When authenticating the user, the system shall allow the user to enter their PIN code up to three times before failing the authentication and rejecting the card. On the first and second try, the system shall prompt the user to re-enter the PIN code.''

Suppose you are concerned that, depending on the exact number of invalid PIN codes entered, the system might behave improperly. Which of the following test design techniques is specifically targeted at such failures?
