ISTQB Foundation Reviewer 3

How is the scope of maintenance testing is being assessed?

• Scope is related to risk, size of change and size of system under test.

• Scope is defined by the size and type of system being changed.

• Scope is related to the number of system users affected by change.

• Scope is dictated by the team that changed the system.

The above table show 6 test procedures (P to U) that must now be entered into a test execution schedule. Business severity is regarded as the most important element in determining the sequece of test procedures, but other dependencies must also be taken into consideration. Regression testing can only be run once all the other tests have completed. Which of the following represents the MOST effective sequence for the test execution schedule (where the first entry in the sequence is the first procedure to run, the second entry is the second to be run and so on)?

• Q, P, S, R, U, T

• R, S, U, P, Q, T

• R, P, S, U, T, Q

• P, Q, R, S, U, T
