Hi,
The paper-based exam will have no multiple choice short answer questions, but other than that, the labs and the mid-semester test are still a good guide to the sorts of tasks you might be asked to do.
If you look at the "Assessments" page on the C...
Hi Arran,
Obviously the exam is a long way away still but I thought I'll mention it now. The unit page mentions for the Moodle exam that "However, the labs and earlier quizzes and tests provide a good guide to the sort of questions you may be asked."
A...
Hi everyone,
I mentioned in lectures that due to the large class size this year (280 students) and the fact that this would be the first CITS5501 exam run on students' own devices (as the labs now have no computers), there might be a change of exam an...
Hi,
It depends what exactly you're being asked for, but in a typical case, you might be asked to come up with test cases that have RACC coverage, and to explain how you derived them.
So in that case, you'd probably say something like "We need to make t...
Hi, for demonstrating RACC with numerical clauses such as x 5 in a predicate, would we need to specify exact examples of numerical inputs or ranges of inputs?
I believe exact examples would be the answer but I would like to make sure of this.
Thank y...
Hi all,
If you're wanting to see me during my consultation time today (2-4 pm), then rather than my office, I will be in CSSE lab 2.05 (filling in for Santiago, who isn't able to be here today).
Cheers
Arran
Hi all,
I've seen that some students are utilising the anonymous posting feature, which is perfectly fine. This feature is designed to allow you to ask questions or share thoughts without revealing your identity to your peers.
I did want to clarify the...
Hi,
For the mid-semester test, it's assumed you've done the prescribed reading on syntax-based testing (Amman and Offutt chapter 9) and at least read through the slides.
There won't be any questions on randomised testing, though.
Cheers

Hi Arran,
I have read the FAQ about examinable content being "for all weeks up to and including the week prior to the test, quiz or exam".
I want to check for the mid-sem test on week 7 Will the remainder of Lecture 6a syntax-based testing that we d...
Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. I'd like to clarify a few points regarding the design and intent of the quiz questions.
Firstly, the phrasing of the questions is intentional and accurate. When a question states "select one or more" or "select all true," i...
Yeah I would say the select one or more instructions are quite misleading, but if you have done the non-marked testing concepts review quiz before taking the marked quiz, you should have learned the lesson - at least I did ;)
Hi Arran,
I wanted to share some feedback regarding the quiz. I noticed that some questions have very misleading instructions. For instance, many questions state, "select one or more" or "select all true," but in reality, there is only one correct ans...
Hi all,
You should now be able to access marks and feedback for the quiz on Moodle (and marks should also be visible in csmarks csmarks ). If you can't access the marks, feel free to post here and let me know.
The quiz should have been very straightf...
Hi all,
The lab worksheet and lecture slides for this week are now up on the website at

Marks for the quiz should be available tomorrow, and I'll discuss them in the lecture.

Hello, after I completed quiz in week 4 I forgot to take a screenshot. When I remembered it and log on Moodle again it's already missing. Anyway to fix it?
hello, I can see on moodle that I need to find the section titled "week 4 quiz password", however I can't seem to find this section on my LMS. I have attached a screenshot of the sections I have.
Sorry I know the quiz has only just opened but I am k...
Hi,
So, the lab facilitators are a great resource for answering questions like this. In fact, they're the main resource I've mentioned in the lectures and on the website that if you have questions about the lab material, or are uncertain about how ...
There is a stack with push as a method.
The question is
"If we wanted to model push as a function, what sort of function would we use? How about pop?"
It is a little confusing for me since push is already a function, what does it mean by model it as a ...
