Question 1

For which of the following activities would the costs be classified as a cost of detection?

Number of correct responses: 1

AWriting test specifications according to the test design

BTraining developers to better understand the new features of the coding language they will use on the project

CRe-running a test case, during the system testing phase, to verify that a fix eliminates a previously found defect

DFixing field failures

Answer : A

Question 2

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?

Number of correct responses: 1

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

BAmbiguity reviews

CTest condition analysis

DCause-effect graphing

Answer : A

Question 3

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

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

Question 4

Which of the following statements describing how identified product quality risks should be mitigated and managed, is true?

Number of correct responses: 1

AThe extent of re-testing and regression testing activities should be based on the risk level

BThe identification of new risks, the re-assessment of the level of existing risks and the evaluation of the effectiveness of risk mitigation activities should only occur at the very beginning of a project

CRisk mitigation of product quality risks can be effective only after starting test execution

DThe priority of the development and execution of tests should not be based on the risk level but only on the likelihood

Answer : A

Question 5

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, birthdate, 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?

Number of correct responses: 1

AThe late delivery of the authentication feature to the test team causes delays in the start of test execution and this could result in a shorter test period

BThe authentication system denies access for a special user with a wrong password, but doesn't display a special warning on the system console

CThe authentication system grants access to a normal user with a wrong password

DThe authentication system grants access to a special user with a wrong password

Answer : A

Question 6

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

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

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

CAutomate all remaining tests

DNo action is needed, test as much as possible in the remaining time period

Answer : A

Question 7

Which of the following statements best describes an appropriate approach for managing exploratory testing?

Number of correct responses: 1

ADefine very detailed mission statements, which allow testing work to be broken into sessions of up to 10 minutes duration in which testing is guided by these mission statements

BBreak the testing work in 30 to 120 minutes sessions and use properly defined mission statements consisting of two or three sentences to guide testing during these sessions

CDefine very generic charters to drive exploratory testing sessions of 2 days where testers are completely free to decide what to test

DExploratory testing should not be managed because such testing is inherently unmanageable and not measurable

Answer : B
