Questions # 11:

Test Management

Assume you are managing the system testing phase of a project.

The system test execution period is scheduled to twenty weeks.

All tests are manual tests. You are following a risk-driven test approach.

During the last staff meeting the project manager tells you new deadlines that will not allow completion of all the system tests.

Which of the following would you expect to be the best way to respond to this situation?

Number of correct responses: 1

K21 credit

Options:

Prioritize executing the tests for the highest product risks and track these risks

Remove testers from your test team, so that they can be assigned to other projects

Automate all remaining tests

No action is needed, test as much as possible in the remaining time period

Answer

Questions # 12:

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

Question # 12

Number of correct responses: 1

K43 credits

Options:

The 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.

The 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.

The 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.

The 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

Questions # 13:

Test Management

You are managing the system testing for a SOA based system. The integrated system consists of several subsystems:

- a SOA middleware

- a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system

- a BRM (Billing and Revenue Management) system

- a SMS (Subscriber Management System) system

and you performed a risk analysis based on these subsystems.

At the end of the scheduled period for test execution you produce a first classical report based on the traditional metrics of testing. Test pass/fail status and bug status (open/resolved) That table provides you a distorted picture of the quality risk, because there is no indication of the risk level of the failed tests, the tests not run, or the open bugs. Thus, you produce the following table to solve this distortion issue:

Question # 13

In the table above, where you have introduced the concept of risk weighting, the highest risk test or bug report has a score of 1, while the lowest risk test or bug report has a score of 0.04.

Which of the following subsystems, based on the risk scores of the table, is most risky?

SOA

CRM

BRM

SMS

Answer

Questions # 14:

Test Management

Which one of the following metrics to be produced needs traceability between the test cases and each item in a proper test basis?

Number of correct responses: 1

K21 credit

Options:

Requirements coverage

Trends in the lag time from defect reporting to resolution

Mean time between failures for the system

Cumulative number of reported defects versus cumulative number of resolved defects

Answer

Questions # 15:

Test Management

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

Number of correct responses: 1

K21 credit

Options:

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

Mature 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

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

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

Answer

Questions # 16:

Reviews

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?

Number of correct responses: 1

K21 credit

Options:

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

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

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

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

Answer

Questions # 17:

Reviews

Which of the following factors could negatively influence a review?

Number of correct responses: 1

K21 credit

Options:

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

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

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

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

Answer

Questions # 18:

Reviews

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

K43 credits

Options:

Management support

Participant support

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

Training in the review process

Answer

Questions # 19:

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?

Number of correct responses: 1

K43 credits

Options:

You 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

You 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

You 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

Answer

Questions # 20:

During the follow-up phase the following conditions are checked:

X1. The code has been completely reviewed

X2. All the identified defects have been correctly fixed and the modified code has been compiled successfully and run through all the static analyzers used by the project without warnings and errors

X3. The modified code is available under the configuration management system with a new version number for the specified CI

If these conditions are fulfilled then the review process terminates.

Which of the following characteristics of a formal review is missing in this description?
