In a defect report, the tester makes the following statement: ‘The payment processing subsystem fails to accept payments from American Express cardholders, which is considered a must-work feature for this release.’ This statement is likely to be found in which of the following sections?
Scope or degree of impact of the defect.

During an early period of test execution, a defect is located, resolved and passed its confirmation test, but is seen again later during subsequent test execution. Which of the following is a testing-related aspect of configuration management that is most likely to have broken down?
Traceability.
Configuration item identification.
Configuration control.
Test documentation management.
You are working as a tester on a project to develop a point-of-sales system for grocery stores and other similar retail outlets. Which of the following is a product risk for such a project?
The arrival of a more reliable competing product on the market.
Delivery of an incomplete test release to the first cycle of system test.
An excessively high number of defect fixes fail during confirmation testing.
Failure to accept allowed credit cards.
What is a risk?
A bad thing that has happened to the product or the project.
A bad thing that might happen.
Something that costs a lot to put right.
Something that may happen in the future.
You are writing a test plan and are currently completing a section on risk. Which of the following is most likely to be listed as a project risk?
Unexpected illness of a key team member.
Excessively slow transaction processing time.
Data corruption under network congestion.
Failure to handle a key use case.
You and the project stakeholders develop a list of product risks and project risks during the planning stage of a project. What else should you do with those lists of risks during test planning?
Determine the extent of testing required for the product risks and the mitigation and contingency actions required for the project risks.
Obtain the resources needed to completely cover each product risk with tests and transfer responsibility for the project risks to the project manager.
Execute sufficient tests for the product risks, based on the likelihood and impact of each product risk and execute mitigation actions for all project risks.
No further risk management action is required at the test planning stage.
The following are ways to estimate test effort:
1. Burndown charts.
2. Wideband Delphi.
3. Expert opinion.
4. Previous experience.
5. Defect removal models
6. Similar project data.
Which of these are an example of a metrics-based technique?
3, 4 and 5.
1, 5 and 6.
2, 3 and 4.
1, 2 and 5.
In a defect report, the tester makes the following statement: ‘At this point, I expect to receive an error message explaining the rejection of this invalid input and asking me to enter a valid input. Instead the system accepts the input, displays an hourglass for between one and five seconds and finally terminates abnormally, giving the message, “Unexpected data type: 15. Click to continue”.’
This statement is likely to be found in which of the following sections of a defect report?
Summary
Impact
