Question 1

Assume you are a Test Manager involved in system testing of a CRM application for a Pay-TV company. Currently the application is able to support a proper number of users assuring the required responsiveness. Since the business is expected to grow, you have been asked to evaluate the ability of the application to grow to support more users while maintaining the same responsiveness.

Which of the following tools would you expect to be the most useful at performing this evaluation?

Number of correct responses: 1

ACoverage tools

BTest management tools

CStatic analysis tools

DPerformance tools

Answer : D

Question 2

After a selection process you have selected a test management tool that is going be introduced in your organization and used by your test team in a pilot project.

You have already identified the member of your test team who will be the administrator of the tool, since he/she has a significant experience with the administration of test management tools and so he/she is able to make effective and efficient up-front decisions about "how" the tool will be used. You have also developed a training plan for the other members of your test team.

In collaboration with the administrator of the tool you have also devised standard ways of managing, storing and maintaining the tool and its assets including backup/restore procedures.

You have also analyzed standard formats supported by the tool (CSV, XLS, XML, etc.) to export, import and archive all the information managed by the tool itself (requirements, test case specifications, test plans etc.) for compliance with the most important test management tools, in order to minimize the impacts of migrating this information to a new tool that could replace the existing one in the future.

Which of the following phases in the lifecycle of the new tool has NOT been adequately considered in this description?

Number of correct responses: 1

AAcquisition

BSupport and maintenance

CEvolution

DRetirement

Answer : C

Question 3

You are the Test Manager on a project following an iterative life-cycle model. The project should consist of nine iterations of one month duration each. It is planned to develop the most important features to have a stable core of the application in the first three iterations and to add the additional features in the last six iterations.

At the beginning of the first iteration, only a draft version of the requirements specification document for the core features is available. Assume that during each of the first three iterations, the chosen features are fully completed and unit tested.

Which of the following statements is true in this context?

Number of correct responses: 1

AThe system test phase should start when all the requirements are frozen

BYou should allocate a large effort for system testing during the first three iterations

CYou should allocate all the effort for the system test phase only in the last iteration

DYou should apply the same test strategy as used in a sequential life cycle model

Answer : B

Question 4

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

Answer : D

Question 5

The following is the unique ''critical'' quality risk item that has been identified:

CR-RSK-1. The GUI of the application might accept non-integer values for the input field designed to get the number of bottles from the user

Test analysis for system testing has just begun and the following test conditions have been identified:

TC-SEL-2. Test the selection of the package sizes

TC-SEL-4. Test wrong numbers of bottles for an order

TC-CR-RSK-1. Test the accepted values from the input field designed to get the number of bottles from the user

Assume that you have used traceability to determine the logical test cases that cover all the requirements and the single risk item identified in that scenario.

Which of the following is a positive logical test that is complete and correct, and covers the REQ-SEL-4 requirement?

Number of correct responses: 1

ASelect a 6-bottles package, then try to insert 5 bottles; verify that no error messages are displayed

BSelect a 6-bottles package, then try to insert 7 bottles; verify that no error messages are displayed

CSelect a 6-bottles package, then try to insert 7 bottles; verify that the 'Invalid number of bottles' message is displayed

DSelect a 6-bottles package, then try to insert 7 bottles

Answer : C

Question 6

You are a Test Manager working for a software organization where reviews have never been applied. After a meeting with your managers examining a business case for reviews, (including their costs, benefits, and potential issues), the management finally decides to adopt formal reviews for future projects.

You have been given a budget that you have spent to provide training in the review process and to introduce the review process on a pilot project.

On that pilot project the introduction of reviews has been very positive in terms of positive involvement from all the participants. All the reviews applied to different documents have been very effective for their purposes (especially at revealing defects).

Which of the following answers describes an important success factor for the introduction of formal reviews which is missing in this scenario?

Number of correct responses: 1

AManagement support

BParticipant support

CDefinition and use of metrics to measure the ROI (Return On Investment)

DTraining in the review process

Answer : C

Question 7

Which of the following would you expect to be most likely an example of a demotivating factor for testers?

Number of correct responses: 2

AThe management asks the testers to be kept informed about the intensity, quality and results of testing

BThe testers' recommendations to improve the system or its testability are adopted by the development team

CThe same regressions tests are manually executed by the same testers, for every product release, without regression test tools

DThe testers are assessed on whether and how often they detect important and critical failures

ETest quality is measured by counting the number of customer/user reported problems.

Answer : C, E
