Question # 17

You are writing the project test plan and are analysing the following risks in the project risk register:

Which would be the MOST appropriate test activities to mitigate the product risks?

Ignore Risk 1 as this cannot be mitigated by testing activities. Apply performance testing for Risk 2 and schedule it ahead of security testing for Risk 4. Disregard Risk 3 as it cannot be mitigated by test activities

Apply portability testing for Risk 1 and schedule it ahead of security testing for Risk 4 and finally performance testing for Risk 2. Embed users with visual disabilities into the design team for Risk 3

Ignore Risk 1 as this cannot be mitigated by testing activities. Apply security testing for Risk 4 and schedule it ahead of performance testing for Risk 2. Conduct reviews of early screen designs and involve users with visual disabilities

Ignore Risk 1 as this is not within scope of a project test strategy. Apply performance testing for Risks 2 and 4, but schedule Risk 4 testing first. Ensure end-users with visual disabilities are involved during UAT

Question # 18

Assuming that 'In progress' means that somebody is working on a fix and that 'Resolved' means that the fix passed the confirmation test; which option provides a defect workflow that flows in a sensible way from an initial state to a terminal state?

New, Under Investigation, Rejected, Re-test, Resolved, Closed

New, Under Investigation, In progress, Re-test, Resolved, Closed, Deferred

In progress, Under Investigation, Deferred, Retest, Resolved, Closed

New, under investigation, Deferred, In progress, Re-test, Resolved, Closed

Question # 19

How does a risk based testing approach address risks in a software product? SELECT ONE OPTION

By designing tests that address only the highest risk areas.

By identifying known risks in defect reports.

By prioritizing tests according to which product risks they address.

By calculating the likelihood and impact of a risk, the probability of finding defects is increased.

Question # 20

Refer to SCENARIO 2 Project 2 is to be delivered using a RAD software development model. There will be two increments, the first will deliver a simple prototype user interface to facilitatetesting of the sound system delivered by 'Silver Sound Ltd', the second will deliver the full user interface required for the production system.

Development of the business requirements and project plan are underway, detailed system analysis will follow for each increment.

You have studied the test policy and risk register and must plan the next set of test activities. Which one of the following is the MOST effective approach for this project?

SELECT ONE OPTION

Develop a master lest plan for each increment as soon as systems analysis is complete, then proceed with test analysis.

Conduct exploratory testing only for the first increment as it is a prototype solution, commence test charter planning for increment 2

Conduct high-level test planning and test analysis now, followed by more detailed test planning and test analysis for each increment considering use of automation where appropriate.

Finalize detailed test planning now for both increments, conduct exploratory testing for the first increment, then use automated tests only for increment 2.

Question # 21

You have just conducted a skills assessment for your team. You decided to rate everyone from 1 to 5 in the skill areas as follows:

5 = expert

4 = proficient

3 = can use this skill effectively but will need some assistance

2 = interested in learning this skill but has only minimal knowledge

1 = not interested in learning this skill

Given these values, you have rated your team as shown in the table below for the designated skill areas:

You will be starting to test a new product that is an upgrade from one of your existing end user products. Your testing will include white box,

performance, security, usability, and black box. You also have a goal to automate 100% of the smoke test and 50% of the regression tests by the end of the release.

Your team willingly shares knowledge and conducts regular lunch time cross-training sessions.

Your manager wants to know if you would like to bring in someone to help train your team in preparation for this project. In which area could

you best utilize this help? [3]

Training in automation

Training in customer support

Training in black box techniques

Training in domain knowledge

Question # 22

You have done a comprehensive risk analysis. You have involved the appropriate people in assessing the risks and determining the likelihood and impact of those risks. You have been testing for three months and have been able to mitigate 75% of the high risk items. You have two weeks left in testing and you now do not expect to be able to complete all the items on the high-risk

mitigation list, never mind any from the medium or low-risk lists.

What is the most effective action you should take? [3]

Use a random selection algorithm to pick tests from the high, medium, and low risk mitigation lists - thereby ensuring that each risk list has some mitigation.

Present your risk mitigation progress and project status to the project's stakeholders, and request additional time or assistance in re-prioritizing the remaining high-risk items.

Concentrate testing in areas that have already found numerous problems.

Retest the highest risk areas to ensure no regressions have occurred.

Question # 23

You have written a defect report and have just been notified that it is in the "returned" state.

Who should take action on this defect? [1]

The developer to whom the defect is assigned

The project manager who is responsible for the project

The defect triage team

The tester who wrote the defect report

a, b and d.

c, d and e

a, b and c.

b, c and d.
