Question

Exhibit

Options

• AThe security test case should be executed first as it is related to access control
• BThe test cases should contain all steps required for execution, including navigation information
• CThe test cases are not being executed in the proper order
• DThe test cases do not indicate the expected result

• A
  7% (2)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  74% (20)
• D
  15% (4)

Explanation

C is correct because Test Case 3 - verifying the date prompt is pre-formatted as xx/xx/xx - is a precondition that must be confirmed before Tests 1 and 2 attempt to enter dates. Running input validation tests (1 and 2) before confirming the input field is even formatted correctly means you're testing on an unverified foundation; the proper order should be 3 → 1 → 2 → 4 → 5.

A is wrong because none of the five test cases is actually a security test - entering an invalid date is input validation, not access control, so there's nothing to "move first."

B is wrong because while including navigation steps is a general best practice, it's not what's specifically incorrect here; the test cases do describe their inputs and verifications adequately for the question's context.

D is wrong because each test case does state an expected result (e.g., "verify the error indicates the date is invalid," "verify response occurs within 2 seconds") - the expected outcomes are clearly embedded in the case descriptions.

Memory tip: Think "set the stage before the show" - always verify UI preconditions (format, display, navigation) before executing functional or validation tests, just like you'd check a microphone works before the performer starts singing.
