Single side to double side is a must-test scenario!

Wait, are we sure about that? Seems like a lot.
LE

Definitely 7 if you include all the failures!

I think 4 should be enough, but I could be wrong.
AM

Looks like we need at least 5 test cases for full coverage.

I believe we need to cover the basic scenario, the deviations, and at least one for each failure, which might add up to 7 test cases total.
RO

I’m a bit confused about how to handle the failures. Do we need separate test cases for each failure, or can they be grouped?
OD

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to identify test cases based on scenarios. I feel like there might be around 5 test cases needed here.
LE

I remember we discussed that for each basic scenario and deviation, we need at least one test case, but I'm not sure how to count the failures.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the config details and tcpdump output to figure out what's going on.

I've seen questions like this before. I'll apply the process of elimination to narrow down the options.

I lean towards IP for the payload encryption, but there was a lot of information about SONET/SDH too. It's tricky!

The 1:1 mapping for users and applications feels like it's a key point, especially regarding credential management. I think we practiced a similar question on this.

Wait, are we supposed to test the copier or just the employee who keeps forgetting to refill the staples? Asking for a friend.

A) 1? Really? I guess the exam writer thinks we can just test the basic scenario and call it a day. Not very comprehensive if you ask me.

C) Yeah, I think testing all the identified scenarios, deviations, and failures would require more than just 1 test case. It's important to have thorough testing for better coverage.

B) I agree, testing only the basic scenario might not cover all possible issues that could arise. We might need to consider the deviations and failures as well.

I'm going with C) 5. The basic scenario, the three deviations, and the failures seem like the minimum required to achieve coverage.

I agree with you, C) 5 seems like the right choice to cover all the scenarios and failures.

I would go with B) 4 to cover the basic scenario and the identified deviations.

I think A) 1 would be enough to cover the basic scenario.
AM

D) 7 seems like the correct answer to me. You need to test each scenario, both the basic and the deviations, as well as the failure cases.

I believe the answer is C) 5, as we also need to consider the failure scenarios for testing.

I think the answer is B) 4. The basic scenario and the three deviations cover the major use cases, and the three failure scenarios are essential to test as well.
