After some discussions with the QA manager, the project has decided to adhere to the recommendations for test coverage provided by the IEC61508 standard.
Which level and type of test coverage should at least be used for the components rated at Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2?

• A. 100% statement coverage and 100% decision coverage
• B. 100% statement coverage
• C. 100% statement coverage, 100% decision coverage and 100% multiple condition coverage
• D. 100% statement coverage, 100% decision coverage and 100% MC/DC coverage

Which of the following statements about performance testing tools is NOT correct?

• A. Significant factors to consider in the implementation of performance testing tools include the flexibility of the tool to allow different operational profiles to be easily implemented, and the hardware and network bandwidth required to generate the load.
• B. Performance testing tools typically drive the application by simulating user interaction at the graphical user interface level to more accurately measure response times.
• C. Performance testing tools generate a load by simulating a large number of virtual users following their designated operational profiles to generate specific volumes of input data.
• D. Typical metrics and reports provided by performance testing tools include the number of simulated users throughout the test, and the number and type of transactions generated by the simulated users, and the arrival rate of the transactions.
