Question #: 7
Topic #: 6

Tax system

A tax system needs to be updated due to new legislation. For a person with a salary of less than 20.000 and who is married, the tax needs to be re-calculated. If the person also has more than two and less than five children, an additional 10% reduction is applicable.

How many cases are required to test the ''Tax system'' specification using a decision table which is not collapsed?

8 seems way too high for this situation.

Wait, are we sure it’s not just 4 cases?

I think we need to consider all combinations of salary and children.

I’m a bit confused about the additional reduction for children. Does that mean we need to account for all combinations? I might lean towards 8 cases.

I feel like we did a similar question about tax calculations, and I think it had 4 cases. That might be the right answer here too.

I think there are different combinations we need to consider, like married vs. single and the number of children. Maybe it’s 6 cases?

I remember we practiced decision tables in class, but I'm not sure how to apply it here with the salary and children criteria.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about hedge funds. I know they use different investment strategies, but I can't quite remember the details. I'll have to think this through carefully and try to eliminate the incorrect options.

I feel pretty good about this one. The initiative planning and mapping is crucial - you need to have a solid plan for how the change will be implemented across the organization. That's the key focal point in my opinion.

The Collaborate tab sounds familiar, but I can't remember if it had anything to do with importing.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know the Retrospective is a team event, but I can't remember if the team is solely responsible for the follow-up actions. I'll have to think this through carefully.
