The use case will be used as a basis for the design of usability test scenario's. As a tester you are asked to review the ATM use case from the perspective of usability testing. As a tester you are asked to review the ATM use case provided below. The use case will be used as a basis for functionality testing to be performed later.

Which one of the comments, described hereafter, would be the MOST important one you would make? [K3] 2 credits

A. Acceptance criteria not defined

B. Business priority is missing

C. Post condition not defined

D. Alternative flows are missing

A SUMI test was performed at an early stage within the system test. Hereafter you find the results of the SUMI test.

Based on these results, what would you recommend as the most appropriate approach for usability testing? [K4] 3 credits

A. Since the SUMI scores are largely above market average no further action on usability is needed

B. Since the standard deviation of most SUMI scales is much too large, a new SUMI test must be performed

C. Since the scores are not really showing a high level of user-satisfaction additional usability testing based on use case is needed

D. Since the SUMI results do not provide details, an additional focused heuristic evaluation on the lower scales is recommended

You are applying pairwise testing and using orthogonal arrays. The following steps are all part of the process to be followed. i) Determine the number of choices for each variable ii) Map the test problem onto the orthogonal array iii) Construct the test cases iv) Identify the variables v) Locate an appropriate orthogonal array

What is the correct order of the above mentioned process steps? [K3] 2 credits

A. i, ii, iv, v, iii

B. iv, ii, v, iii, i

C. iv, i, iii, v, ii

D. iv, i, v, ii, iii
