You are working for an organization that has implemented CI and is struggling to get the automated tests to run on each build because of time limitation. On average, there are three ad hoc builds per day, one scheduled build overnight, one scheduled build on Friday nights, and one build that is conducted on the Thursday night before the end of the sprint on the second Friday. There are four sets of tests: high priority, medium priority, low priority, and non-functional. The non-functional tests must be run in the integrated stage environment, whereas the other tests can be run in any of the test environments.
In addition to just the execution time of the tests, it has also been noted that reviewing the results of the tests takes about two hours per set of tests.
Given this information, which of the following is the most efficient and effective approach to test automation execution?

The test automation library has a large set of keywords that have been coded to support this e-commerce site. Which of the following is the smallest set of keywords that contains the ones needed to support testing this story?

A new Payroll system calculates the amount of tax that each employee must pay (TaxToPay) on their gross monthly salary (in (), and the net salary (NetSal) that they will receive after that amount of tax has been deducted It also calculates the amounts of tax (TaxPdYTD) and net salary (SalPdYTD) paid in the year to date (YTD) by adding them to the stored amounts from last month (for month 1 these will be zero), inputs Include Employee id (Empid) and Gross Salary this month (GrossSal). Tax Rate is looked up on the key of Employee Id, the amounts of tax and net salary paid in the year to date are looked up on the key of (Employee Id and [month * 1]) except that for month 1 they will be zero.
if both employees were paid the same in month 1 as in the current month 2. for which tax has now to be calculated, which data-driven input and expected output table is correct for this situation?

Which statement is correct regarding the use of exploratory testing for safety critical systems?
SELECT ONE OPTION

Your organization has been making animal food dispensers for free-range chickens and has been using a combination of test automation, exploratory testing, and some black-box testing on all products. The company has been using the following approach to the testing of the high-risk items:
* Exploratory testing = 85%
* Black-box testing = 15%
* Test automation = coverage goal is 25% but time is only allocated to automation if no other testing is needed, so the coverage is currently about 5% and the automation suite is run only infrequently.
The company has decided to modify their product and use it for pill dispensing for pharmacies. Regardless of the mechanical challenges of this modification, you now have to determine how testing should be adjusted for this safety-critical application. Which of the following would follow the guidelines in the syllabus for the testing approach for the high-risk items?
