Question 1

When is testing complete?

AWhen time and budget are exhausted.

BWhen there is enough information for sponsors to make an informed decision about release.

CWhen there are no remaining high priority defects outstanding.

DWhen every data combination has been exercised successfully.

Answer : B

Sometimes time/money does signify the end of testing, but it is really complete when everything that was set out in advance has been achieved.

ATest environment more complex

BDefine expectation for tasks and deliverables

CClear channels of communications

DPossibly different cultures

ETesting of non-functional requirements

FAudit trail from requirements to test cases

GApplying test automation
You have been contracted to manage the acceptance testing of a new computer-based reservation system for a travel agency. You have provided an approximate budget estimate for the testing project based on previous experience with similar sized projects. However, the management of the parent company of the travel agency will not commit to the budget until detailed cost estimates are provided.
The reservation system is being developed by a third party However, detailed specifications of the software are available, as well as an estimate of the total effort that will be spent in developing the software. The software is to be delivered in four increments, and the functionality to be delivered in each increment has already been agreed on.

Answer : B, C, D

Question 6

How can test execution tools be of most benefit during exploratory testing?

AThey can record user actions so that defects are easier to recreate.

BThey can be used to perform the regression aspects of exploratory testing.

CThey can help to mitigate the risk of low test coverage.

DThey can use data-driven tests to increase the amount of exploratory testing performed.

Answer : A

Exploratory testing is used when it is unclear what the system is supposed to do. Therefore test execution tools are of little use because expected results cannot be predicted.

However, the record feature of a test execution tool can be used to log the actions performed so that defects can be recreated (option (A)) and rectified more easily.

a. Any deviation from the procedures described in the test strategy document

b. The overall estimated costs, timescales and resource requirements

c. A detailed schedule of testing activities

d. The development deliverables to be tested

e. Which test staff members (names) will be involved and when

f. Level of requirements coverage achieved

Which THREE of the above mentioned characteristics relate to the master test plan? 1 credit
