Actual exam question for ASQ's CSQE exam
Question #: 28
Topic #: 6
[All CSQE Questions]

Which of the following tests is most appropriate for efficiently determining if the software handles time zones correctly?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Boundary value testing is used to check the behavior of the system at the boundaries of input ranges. Time zones often have critical boundaries, such as the change from one day to the next or the switch between standard time and daylight saving time.

Boundary Value Analysis: Tests the values at the edges of equivalence classes, which in the context of time zones could include:

Transition points between time zones

Daylight saving time changes

Leap years and the end/start of months

Efficiency: Testing boundaries is typically more efficient than testing all possible values, especially when dealing with large ranges like time zones.

Application: Ensures that the software handles edge cases correctly, such as the change from 11:59 PM in one time zone to 12:00 AM in another.

Time zones? That's a timely issue! I'd say Boundary value analysis is the way to go - you need to make sure the software can handle the changing of the clock twice a year.

I'd go with fault-error handling. You need to make sure the software can gracefully handle any time zone-related errors that might occur.

Equivalence class partitioning is the way to go. Group the time zones into different classes and test the software's behavior for each class.

Fault insertion seems like the best approach. You can introduce time zone-related faults and see how the software handles them.

I think Boundary value analysis is the way to go. You need to test the software's behavior at the edges of time zones, like daylight saving time switches.

I'm not sure, but Fault-error handling could also be useful for testing time zones.

I agree with Sarah, Equivalence class partitioning would cover all possible time zone scenarios.

I think the most appropriate test for time zones is Equivalence class partitioning.
