You work for a company that is a pioneer in smart energy technology. One of their core products is their energy monitor in-home display device, used to display current and historic energy consumption data to many thousands of customers. It has been designed to integrate with their other smart-home products, including domestic lighting control systems via their HomeHub.
The company is to launch a new application for smartphones and tablets that will allow its customers to view their energy readings remotely and to view their daily budget usage based on seasonal historic data. The application must also support customers with disabilities.
The following requirement specification has been written and you are reviewing it:

Description:
* The customer's daily gas, electricity, and usage figures must be accurately displayed
* The customer's weekly gas, electricity, and usage figures must be accurately displayed
* The monthly gas, electricity, and usage figures must be accurately displayed
* The customer's annual gas, electricity, and usage figures must be accurately displayed
* The customer should be able to change between displaying gas only, electricity only, or both energy types
* The retrieval time for the customer's energy data must be less than 2 seconds from the opening of the application
* The screen design must be visually attractive and easy to operate for the customer You are using the following review checklist:
* Is each requirement testable?
* Does each requirement have acceptance criteria listed?
* Is a use case calling structure available (if applicable)?
* Are the requirements uniquely identified?
* Is the specification versioned?
* Is there traceability visible from each requirement to the business/marketing requirements?
* Is there traceability between the requirements and the use cases (if applicable)?

You work for a company that is a pioneer in smart energy technology. One of their core products is their energy monitor in-home display device, used to display current and historic energy consumption data to many thousands of customers. It has been designed to integrate with their other smart home products, including domestic lighting control systems via their HomeHub.
The company is to launch a new application for smartphones and tablets that will allow its customers to view their energy readings remotely and to view their daily budget usage based on seasonal historic data. The application must also support customers with disabilities.
The application is being delivered using a hybrid mix of agile and V-model methodologies over three iterations:
* Iteration 1:Development of the new application to work on the IOS operating system only
* Iteration 2:Enhancement to the application to also work on the Android operating system
* Iteration 3:Enhancement to the application to provide daily budget usage The test manager has provided you with a list of high-level test conditions and has asked you, as Test Analyst, to select the test conditions that address functional suitability, portability, usability, and accessibility for Iteration 1 only. Which TWO of the following test conditions should you select?
a) The application will accept voice recognition commands made via IOS devices b) The application is both learnable and operable for customers when used on Android devices c) There is no loss or corruption of data transmitted between the energy monitor and other smart-home products d) The daily budget usage is accurately calculated from seasonal historic data running on Android e) The application can be installed on all currently supported versions of IOS for all supported smartphones and tablets SELECT ONE OPTION:

• A. b, d
• B. a, b
• C. a, e
• D. c, e

The following depicts a main path through the use case "Return Item":
USE CASE: Return Item
* Use case ID:UC14
* Purpose:Customer selects an item for return and prints return label
* Actors:Customer, System
* Pre-conditions:Customer has opened shopping site home page

Exceptions:
* E1:Customer is already logged-in (Main Menu displayed) - Step M2

* E3:Third invalid log-in attempt (Account frozen for 24 hours) - Step M4
* E4:Go-Back requested - Steps M7 (to Main Menu) and M9 (to Order History) You are to apply the Use Case test technique with the following rules:
* One test case for the basic behavior
* Multiple alternate behaviors may be combined if compatible
* Nested alternate behaviors (like retry) should be amalgamated
How many test cases should be designed?
SELECT ONE OPTION:

• A. 1
• B. 3
• C. 2
• D. 5
