You have been working as a Test Analyst for a customer-facing application that is critical to the reputation of your company. You have worked with business users to create use

cases and captured a variety of scenarios, including both main and alternate paths. You have managed to create a suite of use cases that portrays a realistic usage model of the system.

Because of this, you will also be able to use these use cases for what other type of testing?

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Use cases can be used for performance testing to measure the response time and throughput of the system under different workloads and scenarios.

I'm stumped on this one. Maybe we should ask the guy who wrote the use cases - he's probably the one who hid the correct answer in there somewhere. Or maybe he just tossed a coin to decide which one to use.

D) FMEA has to be the answer. Those use cases will help us identify potential failure modes and their effects, don't you think? Gotta love some good old-fashioned Failure Mode and Effects Analysis!

I think the correct answer is A) Experience-based testing. The use cases we created should help us understand how users actually interact with the system, which is crucial for this type of testing.
