The execution status of all the test cases extracted from the test management tool

Question # 3

You are the Test Manager of a risk-based testing effort. You develop the following graph to show residual risk. Assume that "Risks mitigated" represents passed tests and "Risks not mitigated"

represents failed tests and other discovered failures.

Which of the following answers best represents what the graph shows? [3]

Project is behind schedule based on bug fix rate

Project is on schedule based on total number of test cases executed

Project is at risk due to the number of failed tests

Project is ahead of schedule due to number of risks addressed

Question # 4

You are using this skills assessment spreadsheet in order to define a training development plan for your test team.

Your objective is to fill the skill gaps by having at least a team member rated as an expert for each skill identified for the “technical expertise” and “testing skills” sections, and with the ability to train the other team members.

Considering the budget constraints you can send only one person to a training course.

Based only on the given information, which of the following answers would you expect to be the best option to achieve your objective?

Number of correct responses: 1

K4 3 credits

Send Robert to a performance testing training course

Send Alex to a performance testing training course

Send John to a performance testing training course

Send Mark to a test automation training course

Question # 5

People Skills – Team Composition

Which of the following would you expect to be most likely an example of a demotivating factor for testers?

Number of correct responses: 2

K2 1 credit

The management asks the testers to be kept informed about the intensity, quality and results of testing

The testers’ recommendations to improve the system or its testability are adopted by the development team

The same regressions tests are manually executed by the same testers, for every product release, without regression test tools

The testers are assessed on whether and how often they detect important and critical failures

Test quality is measured by counting the number of customer/user reported problems.

Question # 6

People Skills – Team Composition

Assume you are managing the system testing execution phase of a project.

The system test execution period for that project is scheduled for eighteen weeks and the release date is scheduled at the end of system testing.

During the sixth week of system test execution, at the staff meeting, the project manager informs you that the project deadlines are changed and the release date that is only three weeks ahead.

This new release will not allow the completion of the system tests. Suppose also that you have followed a risk-driven test approach for this project.

Which of the following statements represents the worst way to lead your test team in the next three weeks?

Number of correct responses: 1

K2 1 credit

Neglect your management activities and work side-by-side with your test team executing tests

Considering the executed tests, you should reduce the test coverage back on the risk analysis and adjust downward the priority of the associated risk items

Convince all the people of your test team that each of them is an important and needed member, and that their contribution is fundamental to the success of the team

Favor and encourage a proactive attitude where people ask for new tasks as soon as they finish their current tasks

Question # 7

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

K2 1 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

Question # 8

People Skills – Team Composition

Which of the following would you expect to be most likely an example of a motivating factor for testers?

Number of correct responses: 1

K2 1 credit

The resources allocated for the testing activities are not sufficient and don’t allow the testers to contribute to the quality of the product

The testers contribution to the quality of the software products developed from an organization is recognized with increased responsibilities

The same regressions tests are executed manually by the same testers, for every product release, without any progression in content

The testers are asked to perform, in parallel with their testing tasks, other tasks unrelated to their testing responsibilities

Question # 9

People Skills – Team Composition

Consider the following analysis of testing skills performed on four people: Alex, Robert, John and Mark (all the skills have been rated on an ascending scale: The higher the score, the better the skill):

Which of these people, based on this analysis, would you expect to be most suitable to work specifically as test designer?

Number of correct responses: 1

K4 3 credits

Alex

Roberta

John

Mark

Question # 10

Which of the following are primary activities in conducting product risk analysis? [1]

Risk testing, risk management

Risk identification, risk assessment

Risk identification, risk testing

Risk management, risk assessment

Answer:

Explanation:

Product risk analysis is the process of identifying and assessing the product risks that may affect the quality or functionality of the software under test 1 . Product risk analysis involves two primary activities: risk identification and risk assessment. Risk identification is the activity of finding, naming, and describing the risks that might affect the software under test 2 . Risk assessment is the activity of estimating the impact and probability of occurrence (likelihood) of the identified risks, and prioritizing them based on these factors 3 . Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because risk testing and risk management are not primary activities of product risk analysis, but rather activities that follow or use the results of product risk analysis. Risk testing is the activity of designing, implementing, and executing tests based on the product risk levels to reduce the level of product risks and inform stakeholders of their status 4 . Risk management is the activity of planning, monitoring, and controlling the risks and the risk mitigation actions in the software project 5 . Option C is incorrect because risk identification and risk testing are not primary activities of product risk analysis, but rather activities that are part of product risk analysis and risk-based testing respectively. Option D is incorrect because risk management and risk assessment are not primary activities of product risk analysis, but rather activities that are part of risk management and product risk analysis respectively.
