Question 61

The use of a seasonal index as a forecasting technique measures the ratio of the:

  1. average seasonal demand to the average demand for all periods.
  2. average demand for all periods to the average seasonal demand.
  3. average seasonal demand to the standard deviation of the demand for all periods.
  4. standard deviation of the seasonal demand to the standard deviation of demand for all periods.

Question 62

Analyzing the requirement, "The system shall allow cash advances of at least 200 Euros for all supported credit cards. The correct list of credit cards is American Express, Diners, VISA, Mastercard and Eurocard." There are arguments to be made for several test design techniques. Which of the following test design techniques is LEAST likely to be used for identifying test cases for the requirement?

  1. Boundary value analysis
  2. Equivalence Partitioning
  3. Classification Tree Method
  4. State Transition Testing

Question 63

Medium-term demand management projections are used primarily to:

  1. complete strategic business planning of facilities.
  2. complete forecasts at the item level.
  3. aggregate demand for production planning.
  4. develop the master production schedule.

Question 64

For an ATM banking project introduced earlier, "When the user first inserts a valid credit card type, the system considers the user to be in an unauthenticated state. When requesting a cash advance, the user must be in an authenticated state. The user authenticates by entering the proper PIN code. When authenticating the user, the system shall allow the user to enter their PIN code up to three times before failing the authentication and rejecting the card. On the first and second try, the system shall prompt the user to re-enter the PIN code." Suppose you are concerned that, depending on the exact number of invalid PIN codes entered, the system might behave improperly. Which of the following test design techniques is specifically targeted at such failures?

  1. Equivalence Partitioning extended by boundary value analysis
  2. Pairwise Testing with orthogonal arrays
  3. State Transition Testing using 1-switch coverage
  4. Classification Tree Method

Question 65

Which of the following strategies is used primarily for demand planning?

  1. Build-to-order scheduling
  2. Push-pull replenishment
  3. Collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment
  4. Vendor-managed inventory
