Question # 4

Test Tools and Automation

Assume you are the Test Manager in charge of independent testing for avionics applications.

You are in charge of testing for a project to implement three different CSCI (Computer Software Configuration Item):

- a BOOT-X CSCI that must be certified at level B of the DO-178B standard

- a DIAG-X CSCI that must be certified at level C of the DO-178B standard

- a DRIV-X CSCI that must be certified at level A of the DO-178B standard

These are three different software modules written in C language to run on a specific hardware platform.

You have been asked to select a single code coverage tool to perform the mandatory code coverage measurements, in order to meet the structural coverage criteria prescribed by the DO-178B standard. This tool must be qualified as a verification tool under DO-178B.

Since there are significant budget constraints to purchase this tool, you are evaluating an open-source tool that is able to provide different types of code coverage. This tool meets perfectly your technical needs in terms of the programming language and the specific hardware platform (it supports also the specific C-compiler).

The source code of the tool is available.

Your team could easily customize the tool to meet the project needs. This tool is not qualified as a verification tool under the DO-178B.

Which of the following are the three main concerns related to that open-source tool selection?

Number of correct responses: 3

K43 credits (2 credits out of 3 credits correct, 1 credit point)

Does the tool support all the types of code coverage required from the three levels A, B, C of the DO-178B standard?

Does the tool have a good general usability?

What are the costs to qualify the tool as a verification tool under the DO-178B?

Is the installation procedure of the tool easy?

Does the tool require a system with more than 4GB of RAM memory?

Is the licensing scheme of the tool compatible with the confidentiality needs of the avionics company?

Question # 5

Test Tools and Automation

Assume you are managing a test automation project for a mission-critical system.

Because vendor provided tools and open source solutions don't meet the needs of this project, you ask your test team to develop a custom automation framework.

Which of the following management issues associated to the development of this custom automation framework is least likely to manage?

Number of correct responses: 1

K21 credit

Proper testing for the custom automation framework must be performed

The custom automation framework will require an adequate documentation

The changes to the custom automation framework should be communicated to all external users of this tool under the GNU license

The custom automation framework will need proper maintenance

Question # 6

Test Tools and Automation

In your organization the following tools of the same vendor are currently in use: a requirements management tool, a test management tool and a bug tracking tool.

You are the Test Manager.

You are currently evaluating a test automation tool of the same vendor (to complete the vendor's tool suite) against an interesting open-source test automation tool under the GNU GPL (General Public License).

There are no initial costs associated to that open-source tool.

Which of the following statements associated to the selection of the open-source tool is correct in this scenario?

Number of correct responses: 1

K21 credit

The open-source tool can be modified but only if the community of developers of that tool gives you the formal permission to modify it

There are no initial costs for the open-source tool but you should carefully consider the costs associated to the integration with the existing tools and also evaluate the recurring costs

There are no initial costs for the open-source tool because open-source tools are usually low-quality, while vendor tools have always a better quality than the corresponding open-source tools

The open-source tool can be modified but it can’t be distributed further in any way

Question # 7

Test Management

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

Number of correct responses: 1

K21 credit

Define 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

Break 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

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

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

Question # 8

Defect Management

During the system testing phase a tester from your test team observes a failure in the system under test and he/she decides to create an incident report. The incident report is currently in a “new” state, indicating it needs to be investigated.

Which THREE of the following information items can’t yet be present in the incident report?

Number of correct responses: 3

K32 credits (2 credits out of 3 credits correct, 1 credit point)

The type of defect that caused the failure

The actual and the expected result highlighting the failure

The lifecycle phase in which the defect has been introduced

What really caused the failure (actual cause)

Steps to reproduce the failure, including screenshots, database dumps and logs where applicable

Question # 9

Defect Management

Which of the following information would you expect to be the most useful to perform a defect clustering analysis?

Number of correct responses: 1

K21 credit

The trend in the lag time from defect reporting to resolution

The defect component information

The lifecycle phase in which the defect has been introduced

The defect removal efficiency information

Question # 10

Testing Process

Which of the following statements describing the consequences of specifying test conditions at a detailed level is NOT true?

Number of correct responses: 1

K21 credit

In an environment where the test basis is continuously changing, it is recommended to specify test conditions at a detailed level in order to achieve a better maintainability

The specification of test conditions at a detailed level can be effective when no formal requirements or other development work products are available

The specification of test conditions at a detailed level can require the implementation of an adequate level of formality across the team

For system testing, the specification of test conditions at a detailed level, carried out early in the project as soon as the test basis is established, can contribute to defect prevention
