This looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different variables involved and how to cover all the possible combinations.

I think the sale of equipment would be reported as a capital gain, since equipment is considered a capital asset. The other options like inventory and government bonds don't seem to fit the criteria.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. The question mentions the file format is available for selection, so I'm wondering if the answer could be one of the other options like a Word doc or compressed file. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Exploratory testing, baby! It's like being a web detective, uncovering all the hidden bugs and quirks. Plus, I get to play around with the site, so it's basically getting paid to have fun. Can't beat that!

Pairwise testing, all the way! Gotta love how it covers all the bases without making me feel like I'm drowning in test cases. It's the Goldilocks of testing techniques, if you ask me.

Decision table testing might be helpful too, especially when dealing with different combinations of browsers, plug-ins, servers, and operating systems.

I agree, pairwise testing is definitely the way to go. It's efficient and covers a lot of different scenarios.

Decision table testing? Really? That's a bit overkill for this, don't you think? I mean, how many possible combinations can there be?

Use case testing is the way to do it, man. Got to make sure the site works end-to-end for all the different user scenarios. Can't leave anything to chance, you know?

I'm feeling exploratory on this one. With all those servers and OS variations, you never know what kind of funky behavior you might encounter. Gotta be ready to dive in and investigate!

Pairwise testing seems like the way to go here. Gotta cover all those browser and plugin combinations, you know? Keeps things efficient and comprehensive.
