Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Analyst V3.1 v7.0

You are testing a hospital patient management system. New or amended patient data is captured by hospital administrators using an in-house patient capture application and transmitted to one or more hospital departments depending on the nature of the medical condition. Each department operates its own software package.
A new release had been scheduled which includes an improved user interface to the patient capture application as well as changes to the patient data to meet new regulatory requirements.
You are the test analyst for this release, working alongside a Technical Test Analyst. Which of the following requirements MOST align to your responsibilities to test as a Test Analyst?
R01 – New and amended patient data can be successfully read and processed by receiving hospital department systems.
R02 – Patient data will be transmitted and received by hospital department systems within ten seconds of entry.
R03 – Patient data transmitted to other hospital department systems will remain secure and cannot be accessed by unauthorised third parties.
R04 – High volumes of data can be successfully received and processed while the user interface is being used.
R05 – The new user interface is appropriate for the needs of all hospital administrator roles.

You work for a company who are pioneers in smart energy technology. One of their core products is their energy monitor in-home display device, used to display current and historic energy consumption data to many thousands of customers. It has been designed to integrate with their other smart-home products, including domestic lighting control systems via their HomeHub.
The company is to launch a new application for smartphones and tablets that will allow its customers to view their energy readings remotely and to view their daily budget usage based on seasonal historic data. The application must also support customers with disabilities.
The application is being delivered using a hybrid mix of agile and V-model methodologies over three iterations:
Iteration 1 – Development of the new application to work on the IOS operating system only.
Iteration 2 – Enhancement to the application to also work on the Android operating system.
Iteration 3 – Enhancement to the application to provide daily budget usage.
The test manager has provided you with a list of high-level test conditions and has asked you, as Test Analyst, to select the test conditions that address functional suitability, portability, usability and accessibility for Iteration 1 only. Which TWO of the following test conditions should you select?
The application will accept voice recognition commands made via IOS devices.
The application is both learnable and operable for customers when used on Android devices.
There is no loss or corruption of data transmitted between the energy monitor and other smart-home products.
The daily budget usage is accurately calculated from seasonal historic data running on Android.
The application can be installed on all currently supported versions of IOS for all supported smartphones and tablets.

The following document has been produced as part of the replacement of an internal Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application. The replacement application should not differ from the current CRM application, and the documentation reflects this aspiration, with seven specific requirements listed.

The requirements will be reviewed using a standard checklist:
Requirements should be testable.
Each requirement should be consistent with other requirements.
Each requirement should be unambiguous.
Each requirement should have a unique identifier.
Documents should be versioned, dated and the author specified.
Which checklist items would identify issues in this requirements document?

You are running a regression test suite using a keyword-driven test approach for automation. The test suite has been enhanced for the current release to include:
Three new test cases covering new business functionality.
Several new keywords, as project schedule constraints mean that more effective maintenance of the automated test cases is required.
However, the automated suite failed unexpectedly when executing one of the new test cases, which was also utilising a new keyword. As Test Analyst, what should be your first step?
