The aircrew of a national air defence force has requested changes to the existing aviation software that provides on-board information about the combat environment. The air force is currently engaged in a peace-keeping mission in another country and has come under unexpected threats. The development life cycle is the V model. The software house needs to change their test management process to ensure delivery at the right time and quality. The software changes are coming in as the aircrew request them, as a result of their engagements with hostile forces. The aircrew have requested that the changes are made as quickly as possible. The project manager has decided to revisit the test management process. The changes will come as small change requests. The team have worked on the project for over 25 years, with little staff turnover. The project manager has asked for your advice on test estimation. Which of the following would you recommend?

Ask the tester who will be doing the testing for a best guess.

Conduct a test point analysis on each change request definition.

Analyse data from previous projects to find changes similar to each change request, and use this to estimate the time required.

Ask the developers how long the change will take to implement and allocate 50 per cent of this to testing.

Which of the following is a typical characteristic of testing for a safety critical system project?

Traceability of test results to regulations

Delivery date met through extensive bug deferral

Project insurance used to reduce the need for testing

Which of the following statements captures a key difference between preventive and reactive test strategies?

Test analysts are involved earlier in the lifecycle with preventive strategies

Test analysts are involved earlier in the lifecycle with reactive strategies

Test analysts invest more time in coverage analysis with reactive strategies

Test analysts invest more time in exploratory testing with preventive strategies

Assume you are testing a banking application. You plan to use production data for testing. The production data includes personal information classified as private and confidential by the laws governing the organization. Which of the following tasks might be part of test implementation?

Identifying security-related quality risks

A Software Company hired a new test manager to manage their testing department. There are 20 testers in the department and 3 of them are located in a different city than the rest of the team. Test team is expected to receive a new build next week for qualification. The project has high visibility from upper management and it is very important for the test manager to complete the qualification on-time. Three (3) new servers were ordered previously to setup the test environment for this new project. There are only 3 days left to begin testing and environment management (EM) team says they are busy with another project at the moment and setup will not be done until next week. If the network is not setup, testing will be impacted. What is your advice to the new test manager?

Have a meeting with EM Manager and Project Manager and explain the situation and the project risk if servers are not setup in 3 days. Let the project manager make a decision.

Wait till EM team is done with their project.

Request testers to do the testing on old systems even though they do not have correct pre-requisite software.

Hire two additional testers to complete the project on-time.

Which of the following ways of monitoring test progress is usually measured subjectively?

Remaining level of quality risk

Defect discovery and resolution

What is accuracy testing?

Testing to determine the capability of the software product to provide the right or agreed results or effects with the needed degree of precision.

Testing with respect to user needs, requirements, and business processes conducted to determine whether a system satisfies the acceptance criteria.

Simulated or actual operational testing by potential users, customers, or an iTidependent test team at the developers’ site, but outside the development organization.

Testing to determine the ease by which users with disabilities

Which of the following is a typical method of testing progress?

Percentage of test cases run and passed

Percentage defect breakdown by severity

Percentage defect breakdown by priority

A software development organization wants to introduce some specific improvements to its test process. Currently, most of their testing resources are focussed on system testing. They are developing embedded software, and do not have a simulation environment to enable them to execute software modules on the development host. They have been advised that introducing inspections and reviews could be the most appropriate step forward. Which of the following is an example of testing as part of the requirements specification phase?

A business analyst eliciting requirements)

Performing acceptance tests against requirements

A test report showing requirements coverage

Select the correct statement regarding test planning and control.

Test planning includes identifying test activities and resources required for the test effort.

Test controlling is a one-time activity that will occur at the beginning of the test effort.

Complex relationships (many to many, one to many) cannot exist among test conditions, test cases and test procedures.

Risk and Test coverage is not a metric for test planning and control.

You are working as the system test manager on a large project. Following an incremental lifecycle model, the development team plans to deliver three bundles of features, labeled Critical, Important, and Enhancing, to the test team on the first working day of March, April, and May, respectively. Which of the following statements is true?

The system test plan should specify how the test team will perform regression testing for the Critical and Important features when the Enhancing bundle of features is delivered.

There is no need to write a system test plan for a project that is following an incremental lifecycle model, as such plans are only written for V-model projects.

The system test plan should include an entry criterion that requires a feature complete build delivered to system test prior to any test execution.

The system test plan should govern which specific features are included in each of the three bundles, and disallow any changes in that feature selection.

You are working on a project to develop a browser-based information system for a state legislature. You are the system test manager. The system test team is responsible for functional and non-functional testing. During the requirements specification period, the test team leads a quality risk analysis effort for the project. The quality risk analysis identifies over 25 different defects in the requirements specification, including a situation where the number of concurrent users of the system was significantly under-estimated. Which of the following is a way in which this early testing activity directly benefits test execution?

By preventing bugs that would otherwise arise during test execution.

By raising the stature of the test team in the eyes of project management.

By demonstrating the fallibility of the business analysts who wrote the requirements specification.

By providing reasons to cancel the project prior to wasting too much money on i

Assume you are responsible for system testing of an embedded system that is used to control a gas station fuel pump. Assume that you have received a functional specification, but no specification of non-functional characteristics like response time, reliability, or security. Which of the following statements is tare?

You should attempt to get information that will allow you to develop non-functional tests as well as functional tests

System testing never addresses non-functional characteristics, so this is not a problem

Non-functional characteristics are not important for embedded systems like this one

You can assume these non-functional characteristics were addressed in integration testing

A company is developing a new type of software application and wants very much to be first to market. The system test execution period is scheduled for twelve weeks. Four weeks into system test execution, the marketing manager learns that their closest competitor is within six weeks of releasing a version of this type of application. He convinces the project management team to release the application as it currently exists, removing four features which are too buggy for delivery and documenting workarounds or limitations for the other known bugs. This decision violates the exit criteria defined in the system test plan. The four withheld features, fixes for the remaining known bugs, plus any additional bug fixes or enhancements requested by early adopters, are to be delivered in a maintenance release due out thirteen weeks after initial release. Which of the following statements about this situation is certainly true?

The maintenance release will need significant regression testing if the company wants to ensure the features which are released now are not broken by that release

This release decision was ill advised, as the quality problems will definitely cost the company market share.

The test manager should resign in protest to protect her reputation from being associated with such a poor product.

There are no consequences associated with making decisions like this, as quality levels are really quite arbitrary.

Consider the following events that can occur during test execution: I. A test passes II. A test reveals a bug III. A test release is delivered late to testing IV. A tester resigns V. A confirmation test passes Which of the following statements is true?

I, II, and V reduce quality risk

I, II, and III reduce quality risk

II, IV, and V reduce quality risk

II, Ill, and IV reduce quality risk

Which of the following statements captures the difference between project (planning) and product (quality) risks?

Product risks affect the success of the product, while project risks affect the success of the project

Project risks have a higher likelihood, while product risks have a higher impact

Product risks can be eliminated by use of good technology, while project risks always exist

Project risks affect all project stakeholders, while product risks affect only testers

Assume you are developing a product for mass-market sales. Suppose that a risk analysis identifies potential performance defects as a high-level risk. Which of the following statements is true?

You should identify actions to take throughout the lifecycle to reduce the performance risks.

You should wait until system test execution to reduce the performance risks.

You should assume that your customers would deal with performance risks.

You should assume that the development manager would deal with performance risks.

A requirements specification contains the following excerpt: The system messages shall score at or below the 8th grade reading level on the Flesch-Kincaid grade level scale. Which of the following quality risk items can be derived from this requirements specification excerpt?

Messages too difficult to understand

Messages lost behind active window

Messages presented in the wrong language

Assume that you are the test manager for a large banking applicationdevelopment project. Earlier in the project, you identified 640 product risks which were deemed significant enough to deserve some amount of testing. During test execution, you attend a project management meeting where you are asked to report test status. The following is true of the identified risks: # Significant product risks identified during project planning: 640 # Significant product risks identified during test execution: 84 # Test coverage of significant risks: 100% # Risks for which all tests are run and passed: 637 # Risks for which one or more tests fail: 70 # Risks for which one or more tests remain to be run: 47 For some risks, one or more test has failed and one or more test remains to be run. After presenting these facts, you are asked for your opinion on the residual level of risk. Which of the following is a reasonable response?

Most risks are addressed, but some risks remain related to known bugs and untested risk areas.

It is not possible to determine the residual level of risk until all tests have been run.

Since over 85% of risks have been tested without any bugs being found, over 85% of the risk has been removed.

Many new risks have been identified during test execution, and that should not happen.

During the system test phase, a tester is running a predefined test case against an e-commerce system. She finds that this test case causes the host browser to crash in five out of five attempts to repeat the problem. As this test case exercises a critical customer use case, she tries but cannot identify a workaround. Which of the following is an additional step the tester should perform to properly classify this incident?

Try to isolate the incident and find a suspected cause.

Ask the project manager what phase the project is in.

Determine the repeatability of the failure.

Identify the symptom associated with this failure.

You are managing the functional system testing effort for a simple e-commerce application that sells books, CDs, and DVDs on the Internet. You are not responsible for testing server-side or data centre behaviours, or any non-functional attributes like performance or usability, though management has encouraged you to report such problems if you see them. Based on your past experience with this organization and their development practices, you know that the requirements specification will be vague and high-level and that your opportunities for early test team involvement will be limited. Which of the following should be true of your team?

You form a team of experienced testers with general Internet skills, good motivation, and knowledge of how such systems fail

You form a team of testers with heavy representation of specialized domain experts such as librarians, music store employees, and video store managers

You form a team of testers with heavy representation of specialized technology experts such as performance testers, programmers, and network engineers

You form a team of testers comprised mostly of low-skip test technicians with two or three test engineers writing detailed test scripts

You are working as a test manager on a project that is facing hard deadlines for delivery and strict budget limits. On previous projects, quality was seen as much more important than schedule or budget targets, so these constraints are a new experience for your test team. The number of berg reports they have filed which were subsequently deferred is demotivating some of your testers. How might you best handle the situation?

Explain to your team the value of deferred bugs, and the plans for future releases that will fix them

Encourage your team to only report bugs they know will be fixed, to avoid slowing down the project

Remove the testers who are openly complaining, as they will ultimately de-motivate others

Ignore the situation, since tolerating a certain amount of grumbling is part of being a manager

Scenario: A surgical operating theatre uses a pump that circulates blood around the body during heart operations when the heart itself is stopped for surgery. The pump is monitored and controlled by a computer system. A software house, SCC specializes in safety critical systems and has created this system. It uses the V-Model for software development (with 4 levels of testing � unit, component integration, system, acceptance testing). The nature of the failure is that when the surgeon switches the control over to the artificial pump, the pump occasionally fails to initiate correctly and subsequently may stop during surgery. You are the test manager. Which two of the following criteria would you recommend for entry into system testing?

100% product requirements coverage.

Signed off system test strategy

Signed off technical specification.

Once the defect has been addressed, which of the following best describes the next steps?

Complete associated unit, system and regression testing before proceeding to acceptance testing.

Proceed immediately to user acceptance testing to prevent delays in this critical project.

Defer user acceptance testing until code changes have been unit tested.

Inspect the code before unit testing and then proceed to user acceptance testing.
