Q10. Consider the following test strategies:
I. Consultative test strategy
II. Reactive test strategy
III. Analytical test strategy
IV. Process-compliant test strategy
Consider also the following examples of test activities:
1. Prioritize the test cases, based on the results of a FMEA analysis, to ensure early coverage of the most important areas and discovery of the most important defects during test execution
2. Execute usability testing driven by the guidance of a sample of users (external to the test team)
3. Perform exploratory testing sessions throughout the system test phase
4. On an Agile project, execute tests that cover the test conditions identified for each user story of a feature planned for an iteration
Which of the following correctly matches each test strategy with an appropriate example?

Q11. Which of the following Is considered a heavyweight risk-based testing technique’

Q12. Assume you have some data related to confirmation testing during system testing of a past project.
In that project 240 bug reports have been opened once, 80 were opened twice, 10 were opened three times and no bug reports have been opened more than three times.
You estimate that a bug report, which has failed its confirmation test, costs, on average, 3 person-hours.
Which of the following statements correctly describe the value of these confirmatory testing activities based on cost of quality?

Q13. Your test team consists of four members (Mary, Bob, Mark, Dave) with different interpersonal skills.
The following skills assessment spreadsheet shows the characteristics of the team members with respect to a list of interpersonal-skills (for each characteristic only the member with the highest level of that characteristic is indicated and marked with ‘X’):

On the next project a member of your test team will have to perform some routine tasks requiring collaboration with other teams.
Who in your test team would you expect to be most suitable at doing these tasks?

Q14. Which of the following information would you expect to be the most useful to perform a defect clustering analysis?

Q15. Assume you are the Test Manager for a new software release of an e-commerce application.
The server farm consists of six servers providing different capabilities. Each capability is provided through a set of web services.
The requirements specification document contains several SLAs (Service Level Agreements) like the following:
SLA-001: 99.5 percent of all transactions shall have a response time less than five seconds under a load of up-to 5000 concurrent users
The main objective is to assure that all the SLAs specified in the requirements specification document will be met before system release. You decide to apply a risk-based testing strategy and an early risk analysis confirms that performance is high risk. You can count on a well-written requirements specification and on a model of the system behavior under various load levels produced by the system architect.
Which of the following test activities would you expect to be the less important ones to achieve the test objectives in this scenario?

Q16. You are the Test Manager of a project that adopts a V-model with four formal levels of
testinG. unit, integration, system and acceptance testing.
On this project reviews have been conducted for each development phase prior to testing,
which is to say that reviews of requirements, functional specification, high-level design, low-
level design and code have been performed prior to testing.
Assume that no requirements defects have been reported after the release of the product.
Which TWO of the following metrics do you need in order to evaluate the requirements
reviews in terms of phase containment effectiveness?

Q17. Consider the following list of statements about audits and management reviews:
I. Audits are usually more effective than management reviews at finding defects II. Audits and management reviews have the same main goals, the only difference is related to the roles and level of formality
III. A typical outcome of an audit includes observations and recommendations, corrective actions and a pass/fail assessment
IV. 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?

Q18. Your team has been given the following test objective Ensure that the users are happier with this version thanthey were with the last version?
What is wrong with the way this is defined?

Q19. Consider an agile team adopting Extreme Programming (XP) with five developers and one tester without any coding experience.
To which of the following activities would you expect the tester will contribute most?

Q20. You feel that your team has become lazy when applying good software testing techniques You have given each of them a challenge to take a different business rule and build a full decision table and then collapse that table You will then assess the results For this assessment, whatcompetencies are you validating?

Q21. You can count on well-written requirements, but you can’t count on an adequate contribution of the stakeholders to the quality risk analysis. You have to mitigate the insufficient contribution of the stakeholders because the risk-based testing approach shall minimize the product risks. Your test team has one expert tester in security testing.
Which of the following test activities would you expect to be the less important in this context?

Q22. In whatway is the operations team usually Involved In testing7

Q23. 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-the-shelf 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?

Q24. Assume you are working on a defect management process to be used by a software
organization to track the current status of the defects reports for several projects.
When a defect is found for investigation a defect report is created in “Opened” state that is
the unique initial state. The defect report status has also a unique finale state that is the
“Closed” state.
The following state transition diagram describes the states of this defect management
process:
Where only the initial (“Opened”) and final (“Closed”) states are indicated while the
remaining states (V, W, X, Y, Z) have yet to be named.

Which of the following assignments would you expect to best complete the defect
management process?

Q25. You are managing the testing for a bank card project.The testing was scheduled to take 10 weeks but by the time the software was developed only six weeks were available for testing Knowing there were a lotof risks with the software your team started testing activities early by overseeing code reviews, defining acceptance criteria by working with the users and by doing all lest creation prior to the code arriving You are now three days away from the go-live date Your testing has mitigated all the high and medium risk items leaving only the low-risk elements unmitigated by testing You estimate it will take two weeks to manually test the low-risk elements At this point what should you do?

Q26. 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?

Q27. In the test strategy document your organization declares:
– To adopt a V-model development lifecycle, with three formal levels of testinG. unit,
integration and system testing
– To use a blended risk-based and regression-averse testing strategy for each level of
testing
The following is an excerpt of the “approach” section for the system test plan document of a
new project:
“Testing will only use manual tests. Due to the short period of time for test execution, the
following activities will be performed in parallel with test execution: Test planning, test
analysis and test design.
Basic metrics will be taken for test effort (i.e. person-hours), test cases executed
(passed/failed), and incidents (no more metrics, such as code coverage, will be collected).”
In the system test plan, no deviations from the test strategy are described.
Based only on the given information, which of the following statements is true?
