ISTQB CTAL-TM Certified Tester Advanced Level Test Management Exam Practice Test

Risks have been identified for a project and they have been analysed using a quantitative method, with the following results for probability and impact.

Which risk should the System Testing focus on mitigating first?

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

SELECT ONE OPTION

Which of the following BEST explains how test process improvement can benefit an organisation? SELECT ONE OPTION

You are a Test Manager at a company that develops mobile phone applications. Based on historical data in your company, you have calculated the following average metrics for system testing:

* for each 100 LOC (Lines Of Code). 4 test cases are executed

* each test case takes on average 15 minutes to execute and check

* for each 1000 LOC, 5 defects are found

You have used this information to create an estimate for the system testing of a new mobile phone application being developed to submit gas and electricity readings.

The application delivered for system testing has 50.000 lines of code. At the end of system testing, 250 defects are discovered.

Assume that:

* the system test of the new mobile phone application will require the same amount of effort as previous applications

* defect density = number of defects/1000 LOC

* no new tools or processes have been introduced to the test team

Based only on the given information, which one of the following statements is true about this new mobile phone application?

SELECT ONE OPTION

Which one of the following is NOT a determining factor when considering the optimal time to conduct a document review? SELECT ONE OPTION
