Your agile project has scheduled a final sprint before release to fix and re-test all open defects with a priority level of 3 or above.
The following defect report shows the defect fields that are currently being captured on the system.
Title: Unable to add excursions to pre-paid cruises
Date raised: 21/05/18
Author: Emma Rigby
Status: Fixed
What occurred: I went to book an excursion for a pre-paid cruise but received an error message saying,
'Facility not available'. I can book excursions on cruises that have not yet been fully paid.
What should have occurred: Requirement 3.12 says clearly that customers can add excursions after cruises have been fully paid so the facility should have been available (when an additional amount may now need to be paid).
Priority: 2
Software build: 2.1
Test level: System test
Environment details: System test 3
Which of ONE of the following additional defect report fields would be MOST beneficial for the sprint team to add?

• A.Actual results.
• B.Expected results.
• C.Severity.
• D.Test Script Id.

Which one of the following statements about techniques for estimating test effort is correct?

• B.The metrics-based technique uses metrics supplied by the current test team based on their subjective feel for effort required.
• C.The expert-based approach is based on the experience of the owners of the testing tasks or by subject matter experts.
• D.In an expert-based approach, the test lead with the most years in the role is chosen to produce the estimate.
