iSQI CTFL_Syll2018 Exam - Topic 4 Question 93 Discussion

Actual exam question for iSQI's CTFL_Syll2018 exam
Question #: 93
Topic #: 4
[All CTFL_Syll2018 Questions]

A booking system for a city bus service prices its fares according to the time of travel:

* Peak-time tariff starts at 0600 and finishes at 1000 am

* Off-peak tariff applies during all other times of service

* The bus service does not operate between 2300 and the start of the next day's peak service

Note that all times mentioned are inclusive.

When applying the equivalence partitioning test design technique, which of the following options, shows test case inputs that each fall into a different equivalence partition?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

After completing the tool selection and a successful proof-of-concept, introducing the selected tool into an organization generally starts with a pilot project, which has the following objectives12:

Gaining in-depth knowledge about the tool, understanding both its strengths and weaknesses

Evaluating how the tool fits with existing processes and practices, and determining what would need to change

Assessing whether the benefits will be achieved at reasonable cost

Identifying and resolving any technical and organizational issues before deploying the tool on a larger scale

Providing training, coaching, and mentoring for users of the tool

Defining metrics to measure the success of the tool deployment

Therefore, the option D is the most typical objective of running a pilot project, as it is essential to ensure the compatibility and suitability of the tool with the current way of working, and to identify any potential risks or challenges that may arise from the tool introduction12.

The other options are not typical objectives of running a pilot project, because they are either part of the tool selection process, or the outcomes of the pilot project. They are:

To establish whether the tool is available for a free trial period (and for how long) (A).This is part of the tool selection process, which involves gathering information about the tool features, costs, support, and availability12.This should be done before running a pilot project, as it helps to narrow down the list of potential tools and to conduct a proof-of-concept12.

To provide training, coaching, and mentoring for users of the tool (B).This is an outcome of the pilot project, which aims to increase the competence and confidence of the tool users and to facilitate the tool adoption12.This should be done during and after the pilot project, as it helps to ensure the effective and efficient use of the tool and to address any issues or feedback from the users12.

To develop a clear set of requirements and objective criteria against which the tool can be evaluated .This is also part of the tool selection process, which involves defining the tool requirements based on the needs and expectations of the stakeholders, and establishing the evaluation criteria based on the benefits and risks of the tool12.This should also be done before running a pilot project, as it helps to compare and rank the potential tools and to select the most suitable one12.

I recall that peak times are 0600 to 1000, so I think option A has overlapping times. I’m leaning towards option B for distinct partitions.

I’m a bit confused about the times listed in option D. Isn’t 2400 technically the same as 0000? I’m not sure if that counts as a valid partition.

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify different time slots. I feel like option B might be the right choice since it includes times after peak hours.

I think I remember that equivalence partitioning is about dividing inputs into valid and invalid ranges. I'm not sure which option fits best though.

This is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure I understand the time ranges correctly, but I think Option B is the best choice since it includes times from both the peak and off-peak periods, as well as a time when the service is not running.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key partitions are: peak time (0600-1000), off-peak time (1001-2259), and the time when the service is not operating (2300-0559). Option B looks like it covers those three partitions.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the time ranges here. The peak-time tariff starts at 0600 and ends at 1000, but the service doesn't operate between 2300 and the start of the next day's peak service. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This looks like a straightforward question on equivalence partitioning. I'll need to identify the different partitions based on the time of travel and then select the option that covers each partition.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The question is asking for test case inputs that each fall into a different equivalence partition, and Option B seems to cover the key partitions based on the time of travel.

Based on the information provided, I think creating reservations for the test device IP addresses would be the best solution. That way, Server1 will always assign those IPs to the correct devices, even when they're offline. Seems like the most straightforward and low-maintenance approach.

Option D, just to see the bus driver's face when someone tries to hop on at 2301. 'Sorry, you're too late! Come back tomorrow at 0600 sharp!'

Option A is tempting, but 1000 is the end of the peak time, so that's not really a different partition. I'll have to go with Option B - can't go wrong with the edges!

Hmm, Option D has 2400? I'm pretty sure that's not a valid time. Unless they're using some 24-hour military time voodoo. I'll pass on that one.
