A financial application has a data entry form for entering invoice details. The form includes fields for invoice number, date, amount, and tax rate. The test team wants to evaluate the usability of the form to ensure efficient and error-free user interactions. Which usability test is most appropriate?

Measure the time it takes for the form to load and save data to the database.

Test that the form rejects invalid invoice numbers and dates with appropriate error messages.

Verify that the form automatically calculates the total amount and tax, and that the fields are logically ordered with clear labels.

Confirm that the form is accessible from all supported browsers and devices.

What is the main goal of regression testing in a financial system?

To ensure that recent changes have not broken existing functionality

To test new features for the first time

To evaluate the system's performance after changes

To verify that the system meets regulatory requirements

A trading platform is being updated to change the way dividends are calculated. The change affects the calculation logic but not the user interface or reporting. The test team needs to ensure that existing functionality is not broken. What is the most appropriate regression testing strategy?

Skip regression testing because the change is small and isolated to the calculation logic.

Re-run all existing test cases for dividend calculations, including boundary and equivalence partition tests, and compare results to the expected values.

Run only the new test cases created for the dividend calculation change, since the change is isolated.

Perform a full regression test of the entire trading platform, including UI, reporting, and all other modules.

Which of the following is a common regression testing technique?

Reviewing code for security vulnerabilities

Performing exploratory testing on new features

Conducting load testing to measure performance

Re-running previously executed test cases

Which of the following is an example of a functional requirement for a financial system?

The system must be available 99.99% of the time

The system must process a withdrawal transaction within 2 seconds

The system must use encryption for all data transmissions

The system must prevent a withdrawal that would result in a negative account balance
