Calculate the number of test cases you would need to achieve Basis Path coverage.  Show the formula and your calculation.

Extra Credit Besides the input parameters to an object method, what other aspects of object-oriented programming could affect the execution path through the method? NOTE: This question is not about the above method.  Consider this independently of any specific code.

Identify a minimal and comprehensive set of test cases: both input and expected output. (at least three beyond the supplied example; no more than five) Write each test case, one per line, in the text area below.  You may also define a set of symbolic names for additional recipes and inventory objects as you wish.  Make sure to list these definitions at the start of the text area. DO NOT include ambiguous cases in your response.  These come in the next question.

Upon reviewing the recent use of conference rooms at an engineering consulting firm, an industrial engineer determined the following probability distribution for the number of requests for a conference room (i.e., demand of rooms for meetings): X (number of rooms needed on a given day) 0 1 2 3 4 p(X) 0.100 0.200 0.350 0.270 0.08 If there are only 2 conference rooms available in the building (i.e., supply of rooms for meetings).a. What is the probability that the number of requests will exceed the number of rooms available? b. What is the probability that the two conference rooms will not be fully utilized? c. How many additional conference rooms are required so that the probability of denying a request is not more than 0.10? d. What is the Average of the probability distribution? rooms e. What is the Variance of the probability distribution? rooms2 f. What is the Standard Deviation of the probability distribution? rooms

Identify any ambiguities or unclear aspects of the specification.  (at least four; no more than six)

Software testing is never complete.  Give three reasons for this assertion.

Extra Credit Write a short paragraph about testing work you did either on an internship or on a complex, academic project.

Identify a minimal and comprehensive set of test cases: both input and expected output. (at least six beyond the supplied examples; no more than eight) Write each test case, one per line, in the text area below. Use the format:  (input1, input2, …) => output DO NOT include ambiguous cases in your response.  These come in the next question.

Consider the sources of defects and the relative cost to fix defects at different stages of the development process.  Given that information, where would you put most of your effort?

Suicide, drug abuse, and addiction disproportionately affect which geographic segment of the United States?
