67. You are creating test cases for the following story, applying the ATDD approach.

As a hotel owner
I want to reserve all the rooms on a floor before moving to the next floor
So I can maximize the efficiency of the housekeeping staff

You have decided to apply boundary value analysis to this requirement and have identified the following partitions for the occupancy of a floor:

0 | 1 - floor full | overbooked

You also want to be sure that the software is usable by the staff and that it performs quickly in determining which floors have availability.

You have designed the following test cases:

1. Test with 1 occupant on the floor
2. Test with the floor full and ensure the next floor is made available for bookings
3. Test with 0 occupants on the floor and ensure that floor is only available when lower floors are fully booked
4. Test the usability to ensure hotel staff will find the software usable
5. Test for response time when the system is at average load and the hotel is 80% occupied

What are you missing?a. A test with a floor partially occupied but not fully occupied
b. A test for performance
c. A test for trying to assign someone to a floor that is full
d. A test for usability

70. Consider a simple program of three statements (assume that statements 1 and 2 take nonnegative integers (0, 1, 2, etc.) and that these statements will always execute correctly):
1. Get the input value x
2. Get the input value y
3. Return x + y
How many test cases are needed to achieve 100% branch coverage in this code and why?a) Two test cases are needed, because one should test the situation where the returned value is be 0, and the other should test the situation where the returned value is a positive number.
b) There is no need to run any tests, because branch coverage for this code is satisfied by definition, since the program consists of a sequential passage of three statements and there are no conditional branches to test.
c) One test case is needed with arbitrary input values x and y, because each test will result in the execution of the same path covering all branches.
d) It is impossible to achieve branch coverage with a finite number of test cases, because to do so, we would have to force all possible values of the sum of x+y in statement 3, which is infeasible.
