iSQI ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Manager CTAL-TM_Syll2012 ISTQB® Exam Questions

Consider a defect report and assume that a part of its lifecycle includes the following states: New:

Is the initial state Working. Means that the developers are addressing the defect in order to produce a fix for the defect Clarification:

Means that the developers need more information from the tester to address the defect and produce a fix for the defect and the tester is working to provide this information to the developers Verification:

Means that a fix for the defect has been produced and the tester is running the adequate tests to verify whether the fix solves the defect Closed. is the final state Which of the following answers represents an invalid sequence of states that can't lead the bug report to the ''Closed'' state?

You are working on a project to develop an authentication system for an e-commerce website. This system provides two features: Registration and authentication. Two different development teams develop these two features.

There is a high likelihood that the delivery of the authentication feature to the test team will be three weeks later. To complete the registration the user must provide the following registration inputs: Name, surname, birth date, fiscal code and he/she can select a username and a password. A registered user can be a special user or a normal user. To be identified as a special user, he/she must also provide, during the registration process, a voucher possibly received from the IT department.

Access is granted only if a user is registered and the password is correct: In all other cases access is denied. If the registered user is a special user and the password is wrong, a special warning is shown on the system console. You are currently performing a quality risk analysis using FMEA .

Based only on the given information, which of the following is NOT a product risk that could be identified during the quality risk analysis? K4 3 credits

You are the Test Manager for a project to develop a client-server application that allows wine vendors to order custom-assorted packages of wines of several winemakers to sell special packages in their wine shops.

You decide to apply a blended risk-based and reactive testing strategy. Below the exit criteria for the system testing.

EXCR1- Each ''critical'' quality risk item must be covered by at least one test condition EXCR2- Each ''critical'' requirement must be covered by at least one test condition

The following are the ''critical'' requirements of the application:

REQ-SEL-1. The application shall allow the user to order only one package at a time

REQ-SEL-2. The application shall allow the user to select between four different packages (2-bottles, 6-bottles, 12-bottles, 15-bottles)

REQ-SEL-3. The application shall allow the user to order a package containing at least 1 bottle and no more bottles than the package size. No error messages shall be displayed if the user selects a valid number of bottles (at least 1 bottle and no more than the package size)

REQ-SEL-4. The application shall display an error message ''Invalid number of bottles'' if an invalid number of bottles is selected by the user (zero bottles or a number higher than the package size)

REQ-PAY-1. The application shall allow the user to pay with the three accepted credit cards (Visa,

MasterCard, American Express)

REQ-PAY-2. The application shall display an error message ''Invalid credit card'' if invalid credit card data are given by the user

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

What is the MINIMUM number of test conditions that must be added to fulfill both the EXCR1 and EXCR2 exit criteria?

Consider an information system of a Pay-Tv company based on a SOA architecture.

The integrated system currently consists of three core systems:

- a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system

- a BRM (Billing and Revenue Management) system

- a CAS (Conditional Access System) system all of them communicating with SOA Middleware.

You have been asked to manage the testing activities for the integration of two additional off-theshelf systems from two different vendors: a SMS (Short Message Service) server and an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system.

Assume that there is a high likelihood that the two off-the-shelf systems will be low-quality and that you have a clear proof that the testing performed by the two vendors on their systems has been unsystematic and unprofessional. This obviously leads to higher quality risk for the overall integrated system.

You are the Test Manager of this project. Your main goal is to plan for testing activities to mitigate this risk.

Which of the following answers best describes the test activities (assuming it is possible to perform all of them) you should plan for?

Which of the following statements about management of product quality risks in mature organizations with respect to the lifecycle, is true?

K2 1 credit

You are performing a quality risk analysis for a CSCI (Computer Software Configuration Item) used to implement a CBIT (Continuous Built-In Test) module of a safety-critical system. During the quality risk analysis you are trying to identify the ways in which failures of the CBIT module can occur, for each of them trying to determine the potential causes and likely effects, and the risk level (calculated as the product of three factors: severity, occurrence and detection). Which of the following risk analysis techniques are you working with? K2 1 credit

Assume you are currently working on a project developing a system where functional

requirements are very well specified. Unfortunately non-functional requirements do almost not exist.

You are the Test Manager. You have to choose a technique for test selection that allows testing of non-functional characteristics, especially reliability.

Which of the following techniques for test selection do you expect being most useful in this scenario?
