1. A Risk-based lest approach must be adopted for all projects

2. Functional regression testing should start as soon as functional testing is complete

3. Automated tests may be run before or in parallel with manual tests

The project Test Plan has allocated 6 weeks to complete all test execution, with functional testing taking 3 weeks to execute, performance and security testing 2 weeks each and regression testing 1 week.

SELECT ONE OPTION

You are Test Manager for a project which is in the Test Implementation stage for the first planned iteration, creation of the initial Test Cases and required test data is progressing well.

The Test Strategy documents the Stakeholders view that small teams should collaborate together to create and test functionality which is to be released in iterations, with each release building on the success of the last.

Stakeholders are willing to accept the risks of a partly working system in the early stages. Delivery of working functionality (particularly around interfaces to third party systems and performance of back end databases) is the priority for the early releases.

Which of the following test types would you select for this first planned iteration, in order to meet Stakeholders expectations?

a) Usability testing

b) Structural testing

c) Functional testing of process flows

d) Performance testing

e) Business process testing

f) Component integration testing

You are the Test Manager of a four-person test team working for a small distribution company with a single warehouse. Your team has been working with a third party development team on a new

inventory management system. The company expects this system to generate approximately one million dollars per annum in profits for the company. Early in the project, various risks were

identified, and steps taken to mitigate those risks.

For example, you sent your test team for training on the new system, and upgraded the test environment. There are still some lingering risks that have not been addressed, but they have been

determined to have a low chance of occurring, with minimal impact if they do occur.

What would be the best option to mitigate these remaining risks? [3]
