Testing ProcessAssume you are the Test Manager for a new software release of an e-commerceapplication.The server farm consists of six servers providing different capabilities. Each capability isprovided through a set of web services.The requirements specification document contains several SLAs (Service LevelAgreements) like the following:SLA-001: 99.5 percent of all transactions shall have a response time less than five secondsunder a load of up-to 5000 concurrent usersThe main objective is to assure that all the SLAs specified in the requirements specificationdocument will be met before system release. You decide to apply a risk-based testingstrategy and an early risk analysis confirms that performance is high risk. You can count ona well-written requirements specification and on a model of the system behavior undervarious load levels produced by the system architect.Which of the following test activities would you expect to be the less important ones toachieve the test objectives in this scenario?

The user shall be able to purchase all the items in the shopping cart usingall the accepted credit cards (Visa, MasterCard and Great Wall Card)REG-LOGO-001. The user shall be able to logout (by clicking the logout button) from boththe “select” and “purchase” pages going back to the “browse” page (anonymousnavigation)Moreover the following quality risk item has been identified as “critical”:QR-P1. The web customer portal might not be able to provide the expected response time(less than 10 sec) for the purchase transactions under a load of up-to 1000 concurrentusersTest analysis for system testing has just begun and the following test conditions have beenidentified:TC-SEL-01.

Test ManagementYou are working on a project to develop an authentication system for an e-commercewebsite. This system provides two features: Registration and authentication. Two differentdevelopment teams develop these two features.There is a high likelihood that the delivery of the authentication feature to the test team willbe three weeks later. To complete the registration the user must provide the followingregistration inputs: Name, surname, birthdate, fiscal code and he/she can select ausername and a password.A registered user can be a special user or a normal user. To be identified as a special user,he/she must also provide, during the registration process, a voucher possibly received fromthe IT department.Access is granted only if a user is registered and the password is correct: In all other casesaccess is denied.

Due to the short period of time for test execution, thefollowing activities will be performed in parallel with test execution: Test planning, testanalysis and test design.Basic metrics will be taken for test effort (i.e. person-hours), test cases executed(passed/failed), and incidents (no more metrics, such as code coverage, will be collected).”In the system test plan, no deviations from the test strategy are described.Based only on the given information, which of the following statements is true?Number of correct responses: 1K4 3 credits
