NO.30 Test Tools and Automation
After a selection process you have selected a test management tool that is going be introduced in your organization and used by your test team in a pilot project.
You have already identified the member of your test team who will be the administrator of the tool, since he/she has a significant experience with the administration of test management tools and so he/she is able to make effective and efficient up-front decisions about “how” the tool will be used. You have also developed a training plan for the other members of your test team.
In collaboration with the administrator of the tool you have also devised standard ways of managing, storing and maintaining the tool and its assets including backup/restore procedures.
You have also analyzed standard formats supported by the tool (CSV, XLS, XML, etc.) to export, import and archive all the information managed by the tool itself (requirements, test case specifications, test plans etc.) for compliance with the most important test management tools, in order to minimize the impacts of migrating this information to a new tool that could replace the existing one in the future.
Which of the following phases in the lifecycle of the new tool has NOT been adequately considered in this description?

Acquisition

Support and maintenance

Evolution

Retirement

NO.31 Test Management
You are the Test Manager on a project following an iterative life-cycle model. The project should consist of nine iterations of one month duration each. It is planned to develop the most important features to have a stable core of the application in the first three iterations and to add the additional features in the last six iterations.
At the beginning of the first iteration, only a draft version of the requirements specification document for the core features is available. Assume that during each of the first three iterations, the chosen features are fully completed and unit tested.
Which of the following statements is true in this context?

The system test phase should start when all the requirements are frozen

You should allocate a large effort for system testing during the first three iterations

You should allocate all the effort for the system test phase only in the last iteration

You should apply the same test strategy as used in a sequential life cycle model

NO.32 Test Management
You are working on a project to develop an authentication system for an e-commerce website. This system provides two features: Registration and authentication. Two different development teams develop these two features.
There is a high likelihood that the delivery of the authentication feature to the test team will be three weeks later. To complete the registration the user must provide the following registration inputs: Name, surname, birthdate, fiscal code and he/she can select a username and a password.
A registered user can be a special user or a normal user. To be identified as a special user, he/she must also provide, during the registration process, a voucher possibly received from the IT department.
Access is granted only if a user is registered and the password is correct: In all other cases access is denied. If the registered user is a special user and the password is wrong, a special warning is shown on the system console.
You are currently performing a quality risk analysis using FMEA.
Based only on the given information, which of the following is NOT a product risk that could be identified during the quality risk analysis?

The late delivery of the authentication feature to the test team causes delays in the start of test execution and this could result in a shorter test period

The authentication system denies access for a special user with a wrong password, but doesn’t display a special warning on the system console

The authentication system grants access to a normal user with a wrong password

The authentication system grants access to a special user with a wrong password

NO.33 Test Management
In the test strategy document your organization declares:
– to adopt a V-model development lifecycle, with three formal levels of testing: unit, integration and system testing
– to use a blended risk-based and regression-averse testing strategy for each level of testing The following is an excerpt of the “approach” section for the system test plan document of a new project:
“Testing will only use manual tests. Due to the short period of time for test execution, the following activities will be performed in parallel with test execution: Test planning, test analysis and test design.
Basic metrics will be taken for test effort (i.e. person-hours), test cases executed (passed/failed), and incidents (no more metrics, such as code coverage, will be collected).” In the system test plan, no deviations from the test strategy are described.
Based only on the given information, which of the following statements is true?
Number of correct responses: 1
K4 3 credits

The approach described in the system test plan document is consistent with the test strategy

The approach described in the system test plan document is consistent with the risk-based testing strategy, but it is inconsistent with the regression testing strategy

The approach described in the system test plan document is consistent with the regression testing strategy, but it is inconsistent with the risk-based testing strategy

The approach described the system test plan document is inconsistent with both the risk-based and regression testing strategies

NO.34 During the system testing phase a tester from your test team observes a failure in the system under test and he/she decides to create an incident report. The incident report is currently in a “new” state, indicating it needs to be investigated.

What really caused the failure (actual cause)

Steps to reproduce the failure, including screenshots, database dumps and logs where applicable

NO.35 Test Management
You are the Test Manager of a new project that will have three formal levels of testing: unit, integration and system testing. The testing strategy you decide to adopt a blend of risk-based testing and reactive testing strategies.
Which of the following answers describes the most consistent example of implementation of this test strategy during the execution of the system tests?

Your test team executes exploratory tests following a session-based test management approach throughout the system test phase

Your test team executes system tests under the guidance of a sample of users throughout the system test phase

Your test team executes scripted tests designed and implemented before the execution of the system test phase, to cover the identified product risks. It also performs exploratory testing sessions throughout the system test phase

Your test team autonomously performs some exploratory testing sessions and, at the very end of the system testing phase, it also executes more system tests under the guidance of a sample of users

NO.36 Test Management
Assume you are currently working on a project developing a system where functional requirements are very well specified. Unfortunately non-functional requirements do almost not exist.
You are the Test Manager. You have to choose a technique for test selection that allows testing of non- functional characteristics, especially reliability.
Which of the following techniques for test selection do you expect being most useful in this scenario?

A model-based technique based on the creation of operational profiles

Ambiguity reviews

Test condition analysis

Cause-effect graphing

NO.37 Test Management
In the next two months some new features will be constantly added to new releases of a project you are working on as Test Manager.
You have identified as one of the main project risks, that the requirements specification will still be incomplete when your team starts the test design and implementation phase.
Some requirements will most likely be completed too late to allow a proper test preparation.
You and your test team have already worked on several similar past projects in the same organization.
Which one of the following options would you expect to be the most effective at mitigating this risk?
Number of correct responses: 1
K4 3 credits

Don’t prepare any test and just run the regression test suite to check that the new features don’t introduce regression

Make reasonable assumptions about the missing details and design lightweight tests that can be easily updated during test execution

Don’t design any test until the test execution starts, then communicate that test execution is blocked due to incomplete requirements

Even if there are only few details missing, escalate the risk to the project manager without preparing any tests

NO.38 Defect Management
During the system testing phase a tester from your test team observes a failure in the system under test and he/she decides to create an incident report. The incident report is currently in a “new” state, indicating it needs to be investigated.
Which THREE of the following information items can’t yet be present in the incident report?

The type of defect that caused the failure

The actual and the expected result highlighting the failure

The lifecycle phase in which the defect has been introduced

What really caused the failure (actual cause)

Steps to reproduce the failure, including screenshots, database dumps and logs where applicable

NO.39 People Skills – Team Composition
Which of the following would you expect to be most likely an example of a motivating factor for testers?
Number of correct responses: 1
K2 1 credit

The resources allocated for the testing activities are not sufficient and don’t allow the testers to contribute to the quality of the product

The testers contribution to the quality of the software products developed from an organization is recognized with increased responsibilities

The same regressions tests are executed manually by the same testers, for every product release, without any progression in content

The testers are asked to perform, in parallel with their testing tasks, other tasks unrelated to their testing responsibilities

NO.40 Improving the Testing Process
Which of the following statements about the TMMi test process improvement model is true?
Number of correct responses: 1
K2 1 credit

In TMMi all the process areas at lower levels must be 75% complete by achieving specific and generic goals in order to claim the higher level

TMMi provides an approach for test process improvement such as the IDEAL (Initiating, Diagnosing, Establishing, Acting and Learning) model

TMMi has a staged architecture for process improvement with seven maturity levels

At TMMi level 1 testing is chaotic without a defined process, and it is often seen as the same as debugging

NO.41 Test Management
Which of the following statements, about the test reporting activities for a project adopting an iterative lifecycle model with very short iterations (e.g. two weeks iterations), is correct?
Number of correct responses: 1
K2 1 credit

Test reporting activities can’t be influenced by the use of an iterative lifecycle model with short iterations

Test reporting activities are not important for projects adopting an iterative lifecycle model with short iterations

Test reporting activities are less important for projects adopting an iterative life cycle model with short iterations. They should be performed at the end of the last iteration

Test reporting activities are still important with an iterative lifecycle. The reports can be used to conduct post-iteration review sessions before starting with the next iteration
