Question

Consider the following test cases that are used to test an accounting system:

Test ID: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
Name: Purchase Item | Receive Invoice | Receive Goods | Send Payments | Report Payments
Dependency: None | Test 1 | Test 1 | Test 2 | Test 4
Priority 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 1
Given this information, what is the proper order in which to execute these test cases?
A. 5, 1, 3, 2, 4
B. 1, 2, 4, 5, 3
C. 1, 3, 2, 4, 5
D. 3, 4, 5, 1, 2

Answer 1

The test cases must be executed by considering dependencies followed by priorities. The correct order is Test 1 (no dependency, priority 2), Test 3 (no dependency), Test 2 (depends on 1), Test 4 (depends on 2), and finally Test 5 (depends on 4, highest priority), making the correct sequence: C. 1, 3, 2, 4, 5.

This correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the proper order in which to execute these test cases for an accounting system, we need to consider both the dependencies and the priorities listed. A test case that does not have any dependency should be executed first, and among those without dependencies, the one with the highest priority goes first.

First, we execute Test ID 1 (Purchase Item) as it has no dependencies and has a high priority (2).

Next, we can perform Test ID 3 (Receive Goods) since it also has no dependencies and has the same priority level as Test ID 1.

Following that, Test ID 2 (Receive Invoice) which depends on Test 1 can be executed. It has priority 3.

Test ID 4 (Send Payments) should be done after Test ID 2 as it depends on it and both have the same priority level (3).

Lastly, Test ID 5 (Report Payments) is executed because it depends on Test 4 and has the highest priority (1).

So, the correct sequence to follow based on the given test cases would be C. 1, 3, 2, 4, 5.

This correct answer is C.
