Question 1

For which of the following activities in the fundamental test process would an incident management tool be most useful?

ATest planning and control

BTest analysis and design

CTest implementation and execution

DEvaluating exit criteria and reporting

Answer : C

Incident management tools are most useful during test implementation and execution as this is the stage at which the tool is used to raise, manage, retest and close incidents.

The data collected during the defect life cycle can then be manipulated into information that is useful for other activities within the fundamental test process.

Information on numbers of defects outstanding may be useful for evaluating exit criteria (option (D)). This information could also be used for planning future testing and for taking control (option (A)).

Incident management tools can also assist in test analysis and design (option (B)) as information about defects found when testing the previous release of the system could be used when analyzing the type of testing required for the next enhancement.

Question 2

Since the system is in the medical domain and therefore in the safety critical area, testing needs to be rigorous and evidence is required that the system has been adequately tested. Identify THREE measures that would typically be part of the test approach in this domain and which are not always applicable in other domains! 1 credit

AHigh level of documentation

BFailure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) sessions

CTraceability to requirements

DNon-functional testing

EMaster test planning

FTest design techniques

GReviews

Answer : A, B, C

Question 3

Which of the following are the typical defects found by static analysis tools?

a. Variables that are never used.

b. Security vulnerabilities.

c. Poor performance.

d. Unreachable code.

e. Business processes not followed.

Ab, c and d are true; a and e are false

Ba is true; b, c, d and e are false

Cc, d and e are true; a and b are false

Da, b and d are true; c and e are false

Answer : D

Question 4

Which of the following is a structure-based (white-box) technique?

ADecision table testing

BState transition testing

CStatement testing

DBoundary value analysis

Answer : C

All other options are specification-based (black-box) techniques, and the main distracter is answer (A) because decision table testing could be confused with decision testing.

Question 5

Which of the following types of test tool are most likely to include traceability functions?

(i) Performance testing tool

(ii) Requirements management tool

(iii) Configuration management tool

(iv) Static analysis tool

A(i) and (ii)

B(i) and (iv)

C(ii) and (iii)

D(iii) and (iv)

Answer : C

Requirements management tools (ii) have traceability because they enable test conditions and subsequently test scripts and defects to be traced back to requirements. Configuration management tools (iii) also need to trace the appropriate version of a test script to the release or version of a system or module.

Performance monitoring tools (i) and static analysis tools (iv) are designed for specific objectives. Neither of these tools particularly need traceability functions.

Question 6

Which is not the fundamental test process?

APlanning and control

BTest closure activities

CAnalysis and design

DNone

Answer : D

Question 7

Which of the following is a characteristic of good testing in any life cycle model? 1 credit

AAnalysis and design of tests begins as soon as development is completed.

BSome, but not all, development activities have corresponding test activities.

CEach test level has test objectives specific to that level.

DAll document reviews involve the development team.
