Take this Quiz: T Level Digital: Development and Delivery | Zestly

Question 1

A team at Norbury Software writes the following user story: 'As a warehouse supervisor, I want to see which orders are late, so that I can chase them before the customer calls.' What is the primary purpose of the final part of this sentence, beginning with 'so that'?

Accepted Answer

It records why the feature is wanted, so the team can judge whether a proposed solution actually delivers the benefit.

Answer

Answer

It is a legal requirement that must be met before customer data can be processed.

Question 2

A team at Norbury Software has created a user story: 'As a warehouse supervisor, I want to see which orders are late, so that I can chase them before the customer calls.' They now need to define the acceptance criteria for this story. What is the purpose of these criteria?

Accepted Answer

They define in advance what must be true for the work to count as finished, so that 'done' is a matter of fact rather than opinion.

Answer

They are used to estimate how many hours the development work will take.

Answer

They list the specific managers who must approve the project budget before deployment.

Answer

They describe the specific database tables and schema the feature will need to function.

Question 3

A developer at Kearsley Systems has written a function that calculates VAT and has verified through unit testing that it returns the correct figure for every input she tried. What has this testing NOT yet demonstrated?

Accepted Answer

Whether the function works correctly when the rest of the system calls it, with real data flowing in from other parts.

Answer

Whether the function returns the correct mathematical result.

Answer

Whether the code is syntactically correct and compiles.

Answer

Whether the calculation is efficient enough to run once.

Question 4

After fixing a bug in the discount code at Ormskirk Retail, the team decides to re-run the entire existing test suite, even though the fix only affected one specific file. Why is this necessary?

Answer

Because a change in one place can break something that used to work elsewhere, and only re-testing the rest will reveal it.

Answer

Because the test suite must be run a fixed number of times per month to maintain compliance.

Answer

Because re-running the entire test suite makes the software run faster in production.

Answer

Because the original test results expire automatically as soon as a bug is identified.

Question 5

Answer

To verify that the code strictly adheres to the company's internal style guide.

Answer

To check if the server has enough memory to host the application.

Answer

To confirm that the developers followed the agreed sprint length during the build.

Answer

To establish whether the software does what the people who will actually use it need, in the way they work.
