Question 1

You are not confident with the assessment of the risk level and you suspect that it will be possible to find high-priority bugs in low-risk areas.

Furthermore the period for test execution is very short. Your goal is to test all the product risks in a risk-based way, while assuring that each product risk gets at least some amount of testing.

Which of the following answers describes the best test execution schedule in this scenario?

Number of correct responses: 1

AT1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10

BT1, T3, T5, T7, T9, T2, T4, T6, T8, T10

CT10, T9, T8, T7, T6, T5, T4, T3, T2, T1

DT10, T8, T6, T4, T2, T9, T7, T5, T3, T1

Answer : B

Question 2

Which of the following statements represents the most effective contribution of the stakeholders to the completion of the failure mode analysis table?

Number of correct responses: 1

AThe aircraft pilot and the customer representative should contribute to assess the detection. The chief software engineer, the system architect and the expert tester should contribute to assess the priority.

BThe aircraft pilot and the customer representative should contribute to assess the priority. The chief software engineer, the system architect and the expert tester should contribute to assess the detection.

CThe system architect and the chief software engineer should contribute to assess the priority. The expert tester is the only one who should contribute to assess the detection.

DThe aircraft pilot is the only one qualified to contribute to assess the priority and thus should be assigned this task. The customer representative should contribute to assess the detection.

Answer : B

Question 3

You are following a risk-based testing strategy. The test execution time is very limited. Assume that all the product risk items require more or less the same level of test effort.

Which of the following answers describes the best execution schedule in this scenario?

Number of correct responses: 1

A1- Test the acceptance of transactions coming from the IVR channel
2- Test the correct charge of the Smart Card with the required contents
3- Test the correct pre-activation of the Smart Card
4- Test the correct activation of the Smart Card

B1- Test the correct pre-activation of the Smart Card
2- Test the correct charge of the Smart Card with the required contents
3- Test the correct activation of the Smart Card
4- Test the acceptance of transactions coming from the IVR channel

C1- Test the correct activation of the Smart Card
2- Test the correct pre-activation of the Smart Card
3- Test the correct charge of the Smart Card with the required contents
4- Test the acceptance of transactions coming from the IVR channel

D1- Test the correct pre-activation of the Smart Card
2- Test the correct activation of the Smart Card
3- Test the correct charge of the Smart Card with the required contents
4- Test the acceptance of transactions coming from the IVR channel

Answer : D

Question 4

Assume that the following test cases have been executed at the end of the first week of test execution: TC-001, TC-002 and TC-007. All these tests are 'passes'.

What is the MINIMUM number of the remaining test cases that must be successfully executed to fulfill the EX1 exit criteria?

Number of correct responses: 1

Answer : A

Question 5

You are estimating the effort for the integration testing activities of a new project. Consider the following factors, which can affect that estimation:

Availability of re-usable test systems and documentation from previous, similar projects

Unexpected timing of components arrival

Stability of the integration test team (no turnover)

Many and geographically distributed sub-teams

Which of the following statements is true?

Number of correct responses: 1

AI. and II. can negatively affect the estimation
III. and IV. usually favor the accuracy of the estimation effort

BII. and III. can negatively affect the estimationI.
and IV. usually favor the accuracy of the estimation effort

CII. and IV. can negatively affect the estimationI.
and III. usually favor the accuracy of the estimation effort

DIII. and IV. can negatively affect the estimationI.
and II. usually favor the accuracy of the estimation effort

Answer : C

Question 6

The following are the exit criteria described in the test plan of a software product:

EX1. The test suite for the product must ensure that at least each quality risk item is covered by at least one test case (a quality risk item can be covered by more test cases).

EX2. All test cases in the test suite must be run during the execution phase.

EX3. Defects are classified into two categories: ''C'' (critical defect) and ''NC'' (non-critical defect). No known C defects shall exist in the product at the end of the test execution phase.

Which of the following information is useless when the specified exit criteria is evaluated?

Number of correct responses: 1

AA traceability matrix showing the relationships between the product risk items and the test cases

BA list of all the open defects with the associated classification information extracted from the defect tracking system

CA chart, showing the trend in the lag time from defect reporting to resolution, extracted from the defect tracking system

DThe execution status of all the test cases extracted from the test management tool

Answer : C

Question 7

Which of the following statements, about the test reporting activities for a project adopting an iterative lifecycle model with very short iterations (e.g. two weeks iterations), is correct?

Number of correct responses: 1

ATest reporting activities can't be influenced by the use of an iterative lifecycle model with short iterations

BTest reporting activities are not important for projects adopting an iterative lifecycle model with short iterations

CTest reporting activities are less important for projects adopting an iterative life cycle model with short iterations. They should be performed at the end of the last iteration

DTest reporting activities are still important with an iterative lifecycle. The reports can be used to conduct post-iteration review sessions before starting with the next iteration
