You are following a risk-based testing strategy. The test execution time is very limited.
Assume that all the product risk items require moreor less the same level of test effort.


Which of the following answers describes the best execution schedule in this scenario?

Answer : D

Achart showing the trend in the lag time from defect reporting to resolution during system testing is also available. The chart shows that the daily closure period is consistently and significantly above the rolling closure period for a long period of the system testing phase.
Almost all defects found during system testing have been related to the system as a whole, not related to single units or integrations issues. Almost all quality risks have been addressed during the unit and integration testing phaseand no residual quality risks were present in the integrated system. This has been confirmed by exploratory testing sessions performed during system testing, targeted at finding defects in these quality risk areas.
Based on the given information only, which one of the following areas would you expect to be considered more in the retrospective meeting in order to be improved?

Number of correct responses: 1 -

K33 credits -

  • A. The requirements review
  • B. The defect management process
  • C. The quality risk analysis process
  • D. The system design and architecture design reviews


Answer : B

Testing Process -
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?

Number of correct responses: 1 -

K43 credits -

  • A. Perform unit performance testing for each single web service
  • B. Monitor the SLAs after the system has been released into the production environment
  • C. Perform system performance testing, consisting of several performance testing sessions,to verify if all the SLAs have been met
  • D. Perform static performance testing by reviewing the architectural model of the system under various load levels


Answer : B

Testing Process -
Which of the following is an example of the test closure activity indicated as "lessons learned"?

Number of correct responses: 1 -

K21 credit -

  • A. Archive all the test results of the acceptance testing phase
  • B. Deliver a list of the open defects of a software product released into production to the service desk team
  • C. Participate in a meeting at the end of a project aimed at better managing the events and problems of future projects
  • D. Deliver an automated regression test suite, used during the system test phase of a software product released into production, to the team responsible for maintenance testing


Answer : C

The following is the unique critical quality risk item that has been identified:
CR-RSK-1. The GUI of the application might accept non-integer values for the input field designed to get the number of bottles from the user
Test analysis for system testing has just begun and the following test conditions have been identified:
TC-SEL-2. Test the selection of the package sizes
TC-SEL-4. Test wrong numbers of bottles for an order
TC-CR-RSK-1. Test the accepted values from the input field designed to get the number of bottles from the user
What is the MINIMUM number of testconditions that must be added to fulfill both the
EXCR1 and EXCR2 exit criteria?
