 S2 and O2 are the finishing state and the output(s) from the test case1. The question asks about a test case that starts at S1 and triggers 4 events in sequence: E1, E4, E5, E7. The question refers to a state diagram that shows the logic of a system with six states (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6) and seven events (E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7). The state diagram also shows four outputs (O1, O2, O3, O4) that are produced by some events. The state diagram is shown below:

To answer this question, we need to follow the path of the test case on the state diagram and observe the state transitions and outputs that occur. The path of the test case is:

• Start at S1
• Trigger E1
• Transition to S2
• Trigger E4
• Transition to S3
• Trigger E5
• Transition to S2
• Output O2
• Trigger E7
• Transition to S6

Therefore, the finishing state of the test case is S2 and the output(s) from the test case is O2. Hence, D is the correct answer.

The order in which the specifications for test cases, test conditions and test procedures are developed as a part of the test development process is as follows:

• Test Condition: A test condition is an item or event of a component or system that could be verified by one or more test cases, such as a function, transaction, feature, quality attribute, or structural element.
• Test Case: A test case is a set of input values, execution preconditions, expected results and execution postconditions, developed for a particular objective or test condition, such as to exercise a particular program path or to verify compliance with a specific requirement.
• Test Procedure: A test procedure is a document providing detailed instructions for the execution of one or more test cases.

Therefore, the correct order is test condition --> test case --> test procedure.

Integration testing is the process of testing the interactions between different components or subsystems of a system. It has the following characteristics:

• It can be done in an incremental manner, meaning that components or subsystems are integrated and tested one by one until the whole system is integrated and tested.
• It is usually done before system testing, which is the process of testing the system as a whole against its requirements and specifications.
• It includes functional tests, which are tests that verify the functionality and behavior of the system or its components.
• It includes non-functional tests, which are tests that verify the quality attributes of the system or its components, such as performance, reliability, security, etc.

Therefore, statements I, III, and IV are correct.
