Question 1

After the presentation, you are asked to explain the chart. Assume you have applied a full risk-based testing strategy.

Which of the following answers would you expect to best describe the pie chart?

K4 3 credits

AAll the risk items have been covered with tests. No more risk items remain to test

BAccording to the full risk-based testing strategy applied, it is very likely that the highest-risk items, tests and bugs remain in the blue and red areas. Therefore, it is very risky to release the application

COnly the lowest-risk items, tests and bugs should remain in the blue and red areas. Therefore the application can be released at any time subject to management of the items identified in those areas

D97 percent of the risk items has been tested. No open bugs or test failures remain. Only 3 percent of risk items remains to be covered by the remaining test

Answer : C

Question 2

Which of the following factors could negatively influence a review?

K2 1 credit

AInclude people with the adequate level of knowledge, both technical and procedural

BInclude people who are detail-oriented and scrupulous at finding issues

CInclude as many people as possible in order to have more viewpoints about possible problems on the item under review

DInclude people able to contribute to a clear, thoughtful, constructive and objective discussion

Answer : C

Question 3

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?

K4 3 credits

AManagement support

BParticipant support

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

DTraining in the review process

Answer : C

Question 4

Consider the following list of statements about audits and management reviews:

Audits are usually more effective than management reviews at finding defects

Audits and management reviews have the same main goals, the only difference is related to the roles and level of formality

A typical outcome of an audit includes observations and recommendations, corrective actions and a pass/fail assessment

An audit is not the appropriate mechanism to use at the code review in order to detect defects prior to dynamic testing

Which of the following statements is true?

K2 1 credit

AI. and III. are true; II. and IV. are false;

BII. and III are true; I. and IV. are false;

CIII. and IV. are true; I and II are false;

DI, III and IV are true; II. is false;

Answer : C

Question 5

The main objectives the senior management team wants to achieve are:

- to reduce the costs associated with dynamic testing

- to use reviews to ensure that the project is on course for success and following the plan

- to use reviews as a well-documented and effective bug-removal activity following a formal process with well-defined roles

- to determine the effectiveness of reviews in terms of phase containment

- to improve phase containment effectiveness

Which of the following answers would you expect to describe the best way to achieve these objectives?

K4 3 credits

AYou should plan for lightweight exit-phase reviews at the end of each development and testing phase, and plan for a process of gathering information from testing to perform an analysis aimed at identifying the larger cluster of defects

BYou should plan for formal exit-phase reviews at the end of each development and testing phase, and plan for a process of gathering information from testing to perform an analysis aimed at identifying the larger cluster of defects

CYou should plan for formal exit-phase reviews at the end of each development phase and testing phase, and plan for a process of gathering information from testing to perform an analysis of the bugs found during testing to determine the people responsible for those bugs

DYou should plan for formal exit-phase reviews at the end of each development and testing phase, and plan for a process of gathering information from testing to perform an analysis of the bugs found during testing to determine the phase in which they have been introduced

Answer : D

Question 6

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?

K2 1 credit

AA model-based technique based on the creation of operational profiles

BAmbiguity reviews

CTest condition analysis

DCause-effect graphing

Answer : A

Question 7

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

K2 1 credit

AMature organizations address product quality risks associated to non-functional characteristics only during the system test phase

BMature organizations are aware that the contribution of testing to analysis of product quality risks is very important. The analysis should occur throughout the entire lifecycle

CMature organizations don't waste time identifying the sources of risks. They only focus on identifying product quality risks

DMature organizations are aware that risk management of product quality risks only occurs during testing

Answer : B
