Exhibit B is the only state transition diagram that matches the text description of Acme’s elevator door rules. It shows that the doors can transition between four states: Opened, Closing, Closed, and Opening. The transitions are triggered by either commands (open or close) or sensors (opened or closed). The diagram also shows that the open command can reverse the closing state, and the close command can reverse the opening state, as specified in the text. The other exhibits do not show the correct transitions or conditions for the elevator door system. References =

Defect taxonomies are categorized lists of defects that can be used to identify and prevent common types of errors in software development and testing. They can also be used to design test cases that target specific defect types, such as security vulnerabilities. Therefore, using a list of known defect types to penetrate the security of computer systems is an example of the use of defect taxonomies. References = Defect Taxonomies - The Practical Guide to Defect Prevention (Chapter 10), Using Defect Taxonomies for Testing Requirements, Defect Based Approach using Defect Taxonomy, Requirements-based testing with defect taxonomies

The smallest set of test conditions to provide minimum coverage of the boundary values is the one that tests the minimum and maximum values for each category of carpet installation prices, as well as the values that are just above or below the boundaries. Option A covers these values, as it tests the boundary values of 0, 20, and 40 square yards, as well as the values that are one square yard more or less than these boundaries. It also tests the maximum possible value for the carpet area and the value that exceeds it. The other options do not test all the boundary values or have redundant values. References =
