• Question 21:

  Which of the following is least likely to be used as a technique to identify project and product risks?

  A. Brainstorming

  B. Inspections

  C. Expert interviews

  D. Independent assessments

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 22:

  Risks should be constantly reviewed. Given the current situation, which one of the following factors is most likely to lead to a revised view of product risk?

  A. The concerns over the user interface may lead to changes to the interface which cannot be implemented by development in time for the second test iteration.

  B. The concerns over the user interface raises the likelihood of a risk in that area and increases the amount of test effort needed for the user interface, thereby limiting the test effort available for other parts of the test management tool.

  C. The delivery of the application without the interface changes may upset the user community.

  D. The method used for test estimation is not accurate enough and hence the money spent on testing exceeded its budget.

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 23:

  Which test management control option is most appropriate to adopt under these circumstances?

  A. Introduce mandatory evening and weekend working to retrieve the 3 week slippage.

  B. Reconsider the exit criteria and review the test plan in the context of the current situation.

  C. Advise the user community regarding the reduced scope of requirements and the additional incremental delivery.

  D. Arrange a meeting with the user community representatives to discuss the user interface.

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 24:

  Which of the following would be the TWO most appropriate examples of entry criteria documented in the system integration test plan?

  A. The percentage of decision coverage achieved during unit testing.

  B. The availability of the latest version of the capture-replay tool (for testing the interface with the newly developed test management tool).

  C. The sign-off of a performance test software release note (test item transmittal report) by both development and testing showing that system performance meets the specified acceptance criteria.

  D. The percentage of acceptance test procedures scheduled for execution.

  E. The percentage of requirements coverage achieved during system integration test.

  Correct Answer: AB

• Question 25:

  You have been asked to write a testing strategy for the company.

  Which statement best explains how risk can be addressed within the testing strategy?

  A. A test strategy should address identified generic product risks and present a process for mitigating those risks in line with the testing policy.

  B. A test strategy identifies the specific product for a project risk and defines the approach for the test project.

  C. A test strategy is derived from the test policy and describes the way risk assessments are performed in projects.

  D. A test strategy is the result of a project risk analysis and defines the approach and resources for testing.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 26:

  In addition to risk, identify TWO other components of a testing strategy.

  A. The entry and exit criteria for each test phase

  B. Test training needs for the project resources

  C. The test design techniques to be used

  D. Test performance indicators

  E. The test schedule

  Correct Answer: AC

• Question 27:

  Which of the following is a benefit of independent testing?

  A. Code cannot be released into production until independent testing is complete.

  B. Testing is isolated from development.

  C. Independent testers find different defects and are unbiased.

  D. Developers do not have to take as much responsibility for quality.

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 28:

  What would be a test approach regarding the test design techniques to be applied that would fit an item with the highest risk?

  A. Component testing: decision testing; System testing: exploratory testing

  B. Component testing: decision testing; System testing: decision table testing

  C. Component testing: statement testing; System testing: equivalence partitioning

  D. Component testing: statement testing; System testing: decision table partitioning

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 29:

  What is the Risk Priority Number for risk item number 2?

  A. 16

  B. 2

  C. 1

  D. 63

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 30:

  Part of the testing strategy indicates that you are going to be using systematic test design techniques. Your manager has asked that you present the main advantages of using these techniques at the next board meeting.

  Identify THREE main benefits of using systematic test design techniques within this company.

  A. Easier to quickly adapt testing to changing requirements compared to experienced- based testing

  B. Targets certain types of faults

  C. Will guide experienced testers to find defects

  D. Provides a way to differentiate depth of testing based on product risks by using different techniques

  E. More enhanced documentation and therefore higher repeatability and reproducibility

  F. Will make non-systematic testing redundant

  G. Will reduce the need for early reviews

  Correct Answer: BDE
