"Data Structures" Please respond to the following:

• Produce two examples of data structures that might be used in the scenario above.  (Hint: Are your data structures cumulative or not? How is a leap year handled?)

• From the e-Activity, identify at least two methods used to generate test cases in software development, and explain how they are used to identify and perform the path testing.
