iSQI CTAL-ATT Exam - Topic 6 Question 64 Discussion

Actual exam question for iSQI's CTAL-ATT exam
Question #: 64
Topic #: 6
[All CTAL-ATT Questions]

You need to implement a Java class that validates a password entry field. The validation critena states that the password must:

1. be a minimum of 8 characters

2 contain at least one special character.

You are focusing on validation criterion 1 and have written a test class that checks that a 7 character password entry will fail validation.

You have written code designed to make this test class pass, however, on first execution of the test class it has failed

What should you do next9

Suggested Answer: A

In the context of Agile Technical Testing, when a test class fails, the immediate next step is to repair the failing code. This aligns with the Agile principle of fast feedback and continuous improvement. The failing test indicates that the current implementation does not meet the specified criteria, hence the need to correct the code. Once the code is repaired, it should be re-executed to verify that the test now passes, ensuring that the validation criterion is met.

I think option A is the best. Fix the code first.

Wait, how did it fail if you thought it was correct?

I doubt adding special character checks now is the best move.

Why not just test with a longer password? Option B seems smart.

Haha, I bet the failing code has a typo. That's always the case, isn't it?

D) Refactor the failing code to improve its design and structure. Gotta keep that code clean, you know.

C) Add code to cover special character validation criterion 2. Can't forget that requirement!

I'm leaning towards option C. I think it's important to get both validation criteria implemented, so I'll add the code to handle the special character requirement and then re-run the tests.

Okay, let's think this through. The question is asking what I should do next, so I think the best approach is to repair the failing code and re-execute the test class. That way I can make sure I have the first validation criterion working properly before moving on.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. I'm not sure if I should focus on the 7 character password test or move on to the special character validation. Maybe I'll try option A first and see if I can get that test to pass.

I might be overthinking it, but what if I need to check the special character requirement too? Shouldn't that be part of the process?

A) Repair the failing code and re-execute it for the test class. That's the obvious first step.

I'm pretty confident I can figure this out. I'll start by reviewing the code I wrote to handle the 7 character password case and see where I went wrong.

Just fix the code and run the test again.

B) Develop a test class with a 9 character password containing one special character and re-execute the code. Sounds like a good way to cover all the bases.

I feel like option A makes the most sense since we need to ensure the current test passes before moving on to others.

I think we did a question where we had to ensure all criteria were met, but I can't recall if we focused on fixing failing tests first.

I remember we practiced similar questions about validating inputs, but I'm not sure if I should fix the code first or add more tests.
