Q10. - (Topic 2) 

Your client has a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2013 installation with Lab Management. The client uses the Microsoft stack to test tools. The testing team 

uses manual and automated testing. 

You are testing the following two scenarios of Acceptance Criteria for the story: 

Scenario 1 

"Given a non-rewards member goes to the reservations site, 

when entering Tampa, FL, as the city 

and an arrival date of 12/25/2014 

and a departure date of 1/1/2015, 

then the website should show a hotel room with the price of $225 per night 

and another hotel room with a price of $199 per night." 

Scenario 2 

"Given a non-rewards member goes to the reservations site, 

when entering Denver, CO, as the city 

and an arrival date of 1/25/2015 

and a departure date of 1/27/2015, 

then the website should show a hotel room with the price of $145 per night 

and another hotel room with a price of $186 per night." 

You need to create a flexible manual test case that can accommodate the two scenarios. The test should include three parameters, one for the city, one for the trip dates, and one for the results. 

What should you do?

Q11. - (Topic 3) 

Your development team uses the Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.0 process template. You are the scrum master. 

The product owner has created product backlog items and assigned them to a release. 

You need to work with the development team to estimate when the release will be completed. 

Which three actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose three.) 

A. Review the sprint backlog. 

B. Review the product backlog with the Forecast option set to on to determine if the release can be completed based on the team’s velocity. 

C. Have the team create tasks for each item in the product backlog and assign hour estimates to the task. 

D. Review the sprint burndown chart. 

E. Set each team member’s per day capacity. 

F. Establish a sprint duration and a sprint velocity. Create enough sprints to complete the release. 

G. Estimate effort for each item in the product backlog. 

Answer: B,F,G 

Explanation: By using the forecasting tool in Web Access, you can plan the number of Sprints it will take to complete a set of work. The forecasting tool is available only in the Product Backlog, not any of the Sprint Backlogs. Prior to being able to use the forecasting tool, your Product Backlog must have PBI and Bug work items already created with the effort specified. 

You can turn on forecasting by clicking the Off hyperlink next to Forecast on the right side of the backlog page. The first time you do this, Web Access prompts you for the Velocity. Using your Development Team’s Velocity, Web Access will add a Forecast column and horizontal lines to the Product Backlog. In the Forecast column, it will display the Sprint that it predicts the PBI or Bug work item will be developed in.
