JavaScript used here):
// LeapYear.spec.js
describe('Leap year calculator', () => {
it('should consider 1996 as leap', () => {

An increased proportion of automated test coverage often leads to a greater degree of manual testing
that follows reactive strategies, because:
Select ONE option.

A functionality from Swiss Banking system is available in all environments 24 X 7 and it needs service
for different transactions from a 3rd party software component. Does this SUT qualify for Service
virtualization?
I. No, as there is an interface with an external service.
II. Yes, to perform time controlled non-functional testing of SUT.
III. Yes, to lower the cost of test infrastructure set-up as compared to the cost of testing with
real 3rd party service due to the fact that virtual service does not need to include all of the
functionality and test data of the actual external service.

travel time and virtual service can respond instantaneously as it is in the same
network/environment as our SUT.

The following is a list of Elicitation techniques descriptions. Choose the one which is described
correctly.
Select ONE option.
a) Qualitative Questionnaires: Having Open-ended questions which are extremely effective way to
add more quality to quantitative research. These type of questions are best used as a follow-
up. The qualitative questionnaire take more time than other techniques, thus fits as an
elicitation technique for small group of stakeholders.
b) Quantitative Questionnaires: is using data taken from open-ended questions in order to make
comparisons between various data points. This will often provide data that can be included in a
conclusion for an acceptance criterion.
c) Qualitative Questionnaires: Yes/No questions are an extremely effective way to add more
quality to quantitative research. They are best used as a follow-up to key questions. This could
generate additional information for which new User Stories have to created or has to be added
to existing ones
d) Qualitative Interview: The qualitative interview is alot less effective than a quantitative query
and is mainly used to acquire information about backgrounds, contexts and causes. It is likely
to return good data, and acceptance criteria can be derived from the responses regarding the
context of a user story.

perform the PoC.
b) Ask the test automation team to adapt some existing TCs to work with given test data and
perform the PoC.
c) Ask the test automation team to prepare a general TC to read all data and process them, then
perform the PoC.
d) The PoC cannot be executed with the given data, but same TCs can be executed anyway to
give an idea about the process quality.
As part of test automation team, you are involved in definition of a new method to create and maintain

The main idea of a Keyword-driven Testing is
a) Create a TC or a set of TCs, able to analyze the data, which will act as keyword, e.g. a Boolean
will trigger a True/False path.
b) Write an interpreter and assign to every keyword (pre defined vocabulary) a special application
to be executed.
c) Create a set of TCs, each able to understand one given order (keyword), get the necessary
data from a predefined DB and execute the command itself.
d) Create a set of macro language (keyword), based on them, a dispatcher TC will understand
what/how to proceed.

Continuos testing :
a. the tester will perform test execution (manual,automatic) based on given timing, e.g. once per
day at 7:00 as part of continuos delivery.
b. The system will trigger automatically a sample test execution based on Developer decision (e.g.
after every software replacement in the project library).
c. The test will be executed based on a new version of application, which can happen once a day,
once a week or on demand as part of continuos delivery.
Continuos delivery
1) The developer is asked to replace the code he has modified by end of day or on demand.
2) The developer replaces his module once completed, the continous testing can take place upon
replacement of new software.
3) The developer replaces his module once completed, a new version of app will be created and
